Security your Server [Firewall Settings]

To secure 2 gameserver +, you need to add an exception to the specific ip or ip range of the 2nd or 3rd or wte server.


Example:

Server "Alpha": ip = 1.1.1.1
- Do everything in the above post
- Add another exception to allow everything or 'specific ports & programs' to the firewall
- If the server is local host, then you just add exception to localhost "server must be on the same rack"
- If the server is not localhost, you need to add the physical ip to the exception list!


Server "Beta": ip = 2.2.2.2
- Option 1) Keep firewall disabled - since no one will figure out this ip :P
- Option 2) Block everything + allow an exception to server ALPHA






-------------------------


What i do for all the servers i setup is "i setup over 80 silkroad servers >.<"

1) Block all connections "make sure you dont lock yourself out -.-"
2) Allow port 80 and ftp to public
3) Allow everything else to 2nd, 3rd, 4th machine! "using ip or private"




Hope that explains how it works :P

thanks pr0 :D
