Firewall Module – The Plesk
Firewall module allows you to configure a firewall on our servers by managing
high-level rules. Create a rule by specifying that you want to allow (or
block) network communications from a set of source IP addresses or networks
to a set of destination IP addresses or networks using a set of TCP and/or
UDP ports. The specified rules get translated into low-level firewall
rules specific to your system. Additionally, commonly used network services
(www, DNS etc) the Firewall module includes predefined service rules.
Enabling and disabling access to these services is as easy as flipping
a switch.
VPN Module – The Virtual Private Networking module
for Plesk Reloaded extends Plesk with the ability to establish secure
communications over public networks. A Plesk host with the VPN module
installed can participate in a secure peer-to-peer communication with
another Plesk VPN host or with a UNIX or Windows machine without Plesk.
The VPN module is based on the OpenVPN software.
File Server Module – The File Server module enables
Plesk administrators to share directories on a network directly from the
control panel. Using Plesk File Server, you can share access to a directory
on your server, grant access to this directory to specific users and assign
read-only or write permissions for this directory. File Server uses the
Microsoft SMB (Server Message Block) protocol to share resources on a
Samba server for network users. For the Plesk File Server, the Samba server
(version 2.2.x or 3.x) must be installed and properly configured.
SMTP Reject – By default Plesk's Qmail will accept mail
for any domain name that is properly listed in the rcpthosts/virthosts
file. However, it doesn't verify that the username exists. As a result,
when a message gets processed, a new MAILER DAEMON message is created.
Spammers will take advantage of this to send their spam through a server
(they put the intended recipient in the FROM box and a domain which behaves
like this in the TO box). Plesk has pre-set Qmail to deny accepting the
message altogether if the user does not exist on the server.
Counter-Strike GameServer – One of the fast-growing
segments of the Internet is Game Servers Hosting. Using the Plesk Module
API, you can integrate virtually any game on your current Plesk server.
As an example, Plesk Reloaded includes a fully integrated Counter-Strike
Game Server. Just use our GUI to edit configuration files, set up, configure
and monitor your favorite multiplayer online game.
