Increased security to your dedicated or VPS server

There are additional ways to beef up your server’s security, whether you are a Tu Cloud Server client or not. Perform these steps to reduce your server’s risk of attack:

  • Keep your server updated. This is essential to get the new security patches for the software installed on your server. You can automate this task.
  • Change the SSH (Secure Shell) Listen Port on the server to a port different than 22. This prevents automated brute-force attacks from even beginning to guess usernames and passwords on the server. The perfect way its to block any access with iptables, for example.
  • Use only TLS (Transport Layer Security) protected interfaces for server administration. TLS encrypts the traffic between your server and your computer. This prevents hackers from capturing login information so they can execute an attack. On cPanel servers, cPanel, WHM, Webmail, SMTP, and IMAP/POP3 all offer TLS-protected access, but it may not be used by default. Please enable as soon as possible.
  • Use only trusted networks and computers to administer your server.
  • Ensure all systems used to administer the server are free from malware, as malware gives attackers access information for your server’s admin interfaces as it is used, even if it’s sent encrypted over the network.
  • Always keep an eye out for the latest fixes and releases for all active scripts. Monitor the developers whose scripts you are running. Add their websites to your RSS feed to quickly get bug fix patches and other tweaked releases.
  • Set up a firewall in your server. With iptables, packer filter or Windows firewall. Deny all by default and only allow the services actually runs.
