Firewall Issues

[mvoight6 (United States)]

Hello all!

Having an issue where one of our remote locations is being blocked by the firewall but can’t find where.

In searching around, I received an error saying:

firewall is not running! file:/var/www/html/admin/modules/firewall/attacks.class.php:17 freepbx

This led me to check the IPtables service which returned this :

service iptables status
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status iptables.service
● iptables.service - IPv4 firewall with iptables
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/iptables.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead)
[root@vps1637080733 ~]#

Then the firewall tries to start and kicks me out. Ran all module updates and no updates available when running yum update. What should I try?

Can you connect via ssh or http(s)?
I had a similar issue briefly and finally did a ‘reboot’ from the cli.
Once you are connected via SSH you may look for ‘iptables -nvL’ and look at your /var/log/fail2ban-logs to see what’s happened in the younger past.

What do the logs say?

This has been resolved. Was a physical firewall issue, not a PBX issue.
