Network and firewall controls for your VPS

Two new tabs on any VPS.

Network lists the IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on your server with their netmask and gateway — including the extra IPv4 addresses you bought, which you previously had no way to see. Reverse DNS is editable per address, which matters if you send mail from the server: it is one of the first things receiving mail servers check.

Firewall puts a default-deny firewall in front of the server. Turning it on opens SSH, HTTP, HTTPS and ping first so you cannot lock yourself out, and then you add or remove rules as you need them — protocol, port or port range, and which addresses are allowed. Every rule belongs to your server alone.

Reinstalling or changing the operating system now asks for confirmation first. Both wipe the server, and neither used to warn you.
