🔐 Secure Your VPS Like a Pro: 6 Simple Firewall Rules That Block 90% of Attacks

Leave a Comment on 🔐 Secure Your VPS Like a Pro: 6 Simple Firewall Rules That Block 90% of Attacks

Running a VPS gives you full control — but it also comes with responsibility. Whether you’re hosting with a budget VPS or a high-performance Ryzen VDS from Hosteons, security should always be a top priority.

Automated bots and malicious actors are constantly scanning servers looking for open doors. The good news? With just a few simple firewall rules, you can block 90% or more of common attacks — no advanced security knowledge needed.

🚧 Step 1: Deny All by Default

Your firewall should start from a “zero trust” position. Block all incoming traffic unless explicitly allowed.

iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

This is the safest starting point for VPS security.

✅ Step 2: Open Only the Ports You Need

For most users, these are the essential services:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -j ACCEPT   # SSH
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT   # HTTP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT  # HTTPS

If you’re using a custom SSH port, be sure to update that here.

🛡️ Step 3: Rate-Limit SSH to Stop Brute-Force Attacks

SSH is the most frequently targeted service. Add a rate-limiting rule to block repeated login attempts:

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --set
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 22 -m state --state NEW -m recent --update --seconds 60 --hitcount 3 -j DROP

This prevents bots from guessing passwords through brute force.

🧼 Step 4: Drop Invalid or Malicious Packets

Invalid packets are often used in scanning or attack attempts. Drop them:

iptables -A INPUT -m state --state INVALID -j DROP

This helps prevent certain types of kernel-level exploits and misbehavior.

🔁 Step 5: Allow Loopback and Established Connections

Let your server communicate with itself and continue existing sessions:

iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT

Without these, things like internal services and return traffic might break.

👀 Step 6: (Optional) Block Ping (ICMP)

Ping isn’t harmful by itself, but attackers use it to detect live servers. You can hide yours:

iptables -A INPUT -p icmp --icmp-type echo-request -j DROP

Note: avoid this if you use ping-based monitoring tools.

💡 Bonus: Use CSF for Easier Firewall Management

Not comfortable with command-line tools? Hosteons VPS plans fully support CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall)— a beginner-friendly, feature-rich firewall system with:

  • Easy interface via DirectAdmin
  • Built-in brute-force detection
  • Country-level blocking
  • Port scan detection
  • Daily logs and alerts

Perfect for users who want simplicity without sacrificing power.

🔄 Don’t Forget to Save Your Rules

After setting your rules, make sure they persist after a reboot.

On Ubuntu/Debian:

iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules.v4

On CentOS/RHEL:

Use iptables-save along with persistent packages, or configure firewalld.

🔐 VPS Security Starts with You

Whether you’re running a personal blog, game server, or production site on a VPS from Hosteons, implementing basic firewall rules should be your first line of defense.

These 6 rules are easy to set up and highly effective. For extra protection, consider:

  • Enabling fail2ban
  • Using SSH keys instead of passwords
  • Running regular security updates

At Hosteons, we offer high-performance, SSD-powered KVM VPS and Ryzen VDS backed by robust network security and full root access — so you’re always in control.

What Is Freegate and How to Set It Up

Leave a Comment on What Is Freegate and How to Set It Up

In regions with internet censorship and restrictions, accessing free and open content on the web can be challenging. That’s where tools like Freegate come in.

If you’re new to Freegate or want to help others get started, this guide will explain what it is, how it works, and how to install and use it safely.

🔍 What Is Freegate?

Freegate is a free anti-censorship software developed by Dynamic Internet Technology (DIT), primarily used in China, Iran, and other countries with restricted internet access. It allows users to bypass the Great Firewall (GFW) and access blocked websites, including Google, YouTube, and many news platforms.

Freegate uses DynaWeb proxy servers (a system of encrypted tunnels) to provide users with secure and private access to the open internet.

🛡️ Key Features of Freegate

  • 💻 No installation required (portable EXE file)
  • 🔐 Encrypted tunneling through DynaWeb
  • 🌐 Supports both IE and Chrome/Firefox via proxy
  • ✅ No configuration needed — just run and connect
  • 💸 Completely free to use

📥 How to Download Freegate

  1. Visit a reliable mirror (Freegate’s website is often blocked in restricted regions):
  2. Download the latest version (usually a .zip file containing fg742p.exe or similar).
  3. Extract the file to a folder (no need to install).

🖥️ How to Use Freegate

  1. Run fgXXXp.exe (replace XXX with version number).
    • No installation needed; it runs as a standalone app.
  2. When prompted, choose your preferred mode:
    • Classic Mode (default) opens Internet Explorer with proxy enabled
    • Proxy Mode lets you configure external browsers like Chrome or Firefox
  3. Once connected, Freegate will display the DynaWeb homepage, confirming that your connection is active.

🌐 How to Use Freegate with Chrome or Firefox

If you prefer using Chrome or Firefox:

  1. Launch Freegate
  2. Go to your browser settings
  3. Set the HTTP proxy to:
    • 127.0.0.1
    • Port: 8580 (default used by Freegate)
  4. Save the settings and browse as usual — Freegate will tunnel traffic through DynaWeb.

📱 Can You Use Freegate on Mobile?

Unfortunately, Freegate is only available for Windows desktop environments. For mobile use, consider using:

  • VPN apps (WireGuard/OpenVPN + Hosteons VPS)
  • V2Ray or Shadowsocks with Android/iOS clients
  • Tor Browser (mobile)

⚠️ Important Notes

  • Freegate may not work reliably if deep packet inspection (DPI) is active on your network.
  • Because it uses a central set of proxy servers, Freegate performance may fluctuate depending on demand and censorship levels.
  • If you’re seeking a more stable and private option, consider running your own proxy server or VPN on a VPS (like one from Hosteons).

🚀 Want More Control? Use a VPS Instead

Freegate is great for beginners, but if you want more flexibility and privacy, consider deploying:

  • Shadowsocks or V2Ray on a Hosteons VPS
  • WireGuard VPN for all devices
  • Self-hosted proxies with IPv6 vHosts and custom rDNS

Hosteons offers:

  • ✅ Full root access
  • ✅ Global server locations
  • ✅ Inbound unmetered bandwidth
  • ✅ Up to 20 IPv6 IPs per VPS
  • ✅ Crypto & local payment options

🔗 Final Thoughts

Freegate is a powerful tool for quickly bypassing censorship and accessing open internet content. It’s ideal for casual users in restrictive environments — but power users will benefit from setting up their own VPS-based proxy for maximum control.

🛡️ How to Check If Your VPS Is Compromised or Infected

Leave a Comment on 🛡️ How to Check If Your VPS Is Compromised or Infected

If your VPS is behaving strangely, running slow, or using more resources than expected, it could be compromised. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide for Hosteons clients to help detect common signs of infection or unauthorized access.

✅ Step 1: Check for Unusual CPU or Memory Usage

Start by checking if any process is consuming excessive resources:

top

or use:

htop

Look for unfamiliar processes, especially those using a high percentage of CPU or memory.

🧠 Step 2: Check for Unknown Network Connections

You can inspect open ports and active connections with:

ss -tulnp

Also try:

netstat -antup

Check for unknown IP addresses or ports your VPS shouldn’t be using (e.g., cryptomining pools, spam servers, etc.).

🔍 Step 3: Scan Running Processes

List all processes with their command line details:

ps auxf

Watch for suspicious scripts, base64-encoded strings, or unfamiliar binaries.

🔐 Step 4: Check for New or Unauthorized Users

List all users:

cat /etc/passwd

Check recent logins:

last

Or failed login attempts:

grep "Failed password" /var/log/auth.log

Watch for users or login attempts you don’t recognize.

🕵️ Step 5: Inspect Cron Jobs & Scheduled Tasks

Malware often installs cron jobs to maintain persistence:

crontab -l
ls -la /etc/cron*

Look for unusual scripts or scheduled commands.

🐚 Step 6: Scan for Malware

Install and run a malware scanner like Chkrootkit or ClamAV:

Chkrootkit:

apt install chkrootkit   # Debian/Ubuntu
chkrootkit

ClamAV:

apt install clamav
freshclam
clamscan -r /

These tools help detect rootkits, backdoors, and trojans.

📁 Step 7: Check for Suspicious Files

Search for recently modified or hidden files:

find / -type f -mtime -2
find / -name ".*" -type f

Look especially in /tmp, /var/tmp, or /dev/shm — common hiding places for malicious scripts.

📜 Step 8: Check System Logs

Scan through /var/log/syslog, /var/log/auth.log, and /var/log/messages for any strange activity.

Example:

less /var/log/auth.log

Use grep to search for specific keywords like root, sudo, fail, etc.

🚨 What to Do If You Suspect a Compromise

If you suspect your VPS has been compromised:

1. Disconnect from the internet (disable the network interface).

2. Back up important data (be cautious with infected files).

3. Open a support ticket with Hosteons: https://my.hosteons.com

4. Consider wiping and reinstalling the OS for full peace of mind.

5. Change all relevant passwords and SSH keys.

🧯 Prevention Tips

• Use strong passwords and SSH keys

• Keep your software and OS updated

• Disable root login and use a non-root user with sudo

• Set up a firewall like ufw

• Regularly monitor your server

Stay secure,

How to Set Up V2RaySSR on Your VPS – A Complete Guide

Leave a Comment on How to Set Up V2RaySSR on Your VPS – A Complete Guide

If you’re looking for a powerful, secure, and flexible proxy solution, V2RaySSR might be just what you need. It’s a custom fork of V2Ray that includes support for ShadowsocksR (SSR), allowing for more advanced configurations and better censorship resistance.

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to set up V2RaySSR on your Hosteons VPS step by step.

🔍 What is V2RaySSR?

V2RaySSR combines the flexibility of V2Ray with the popular ShadowsocksR protocol, offering:

• Support for multiple protocols (VMess, VLESS, SSR, SOCKS, etc.)

• Strong encryption

• Obfuscation methods like WebSocket, TLS, mKCP, and more

• Reliable bypassing of network restrictions

It’s a go-to tool for developers, privacy-conscious users, and tech enthusiasts who want full control over their internet traffic.

✅ What You’ll Need

Before getting started, make sure you have:

• A Hosteons VPS (Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS preferred)

• Root SSH access

• A domain name (optional but recommended for TLS/HTTPS)

• Basic familiarity with SSH

🔧 Step 1: Connect to Your VPS

Open your terminal or SSH client and log in to your VPS:

ssh root@your_vps_ip

Replace your_vps_ip with the actual IP of your server.

📦 Step 2: Download & Run the V2RaySSR Script

Use the following command to install V2RaySSR via a trusted script:

wget -N --no-check-certificate https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FunctionClub/V2raySSRR/master/v2ray.sh && bash v2ray.sh

This script will guide you through setup options like:

• Choosing the protocol (VMess, VLESS, SSR, etc.)

• Selecting ports

• Enabling TLS (for secure encrypted connections)

• WebSocket and fallback options

Take note of the configuration it generates — you’ll need it later for your client app.

🧱 Step 3: Open Required Ports

Depending on your server’s OS and firewall settings, you might need to manually open the necessary ports.

For Ubuntu/Debian with UFW:

ufw allow 443/tcp
ufw allow 443/udp

For CentOS with firewalld:

firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/tcp
firewall-cmd --permanent --add-port=443/udp
firewall-cmd --reload

📲 Step 4: Set Up Your V2RaySSR Client

Once the server is running, install a client on your device:

• Windows: V2RayN

• Android: v2rayNG

• iOS: Shadowrocket (App Store)

Input the configuration details (UUID, address, port, path, protocol, TLS settings, etc.) provided by the script.

🚀 Step 5: Test Your Setup

After everything is configured:

• Open your V2Ray client and connect

• Visit https://ipinfo.io or https://whatismyipaddress.com to confirm your traffic is routing through the VPS

• Check logs in the client app for errors or connection status

🛡️ Pro Tips

• Use a custom domain with Let’s Encrypt TLS for added security

• Change your UUID regularly to maintain privacy

• Keep your script and configuration up to date

• Monitor usage to ensure smooth operation and avoid abuse

Start building your own secure proxy with V2RaySSR — all powered by a Hosteons VPS.
