Thanks Meaulnes.

I will have a read and see if I can get to the bottom of this.
Strange it should block BX though.

Regards

Colin

Subject: [BlueOnyx:22924] Re: APF mystery - blocking BlueOnyx


Hello Colin

there were some posts about DFix2/APF round May 5-6 in this list, read what 
happened there...

I was running APF, Dfix2 and Fail2ban on my servers, but I turned Dfix2 off 
because it is too fussy with users who entered a false password (e.g. 
connecting an old device or setting up a new one, at the Internet Café etc.), 
one's connection is banned by Dfix2 already after two attempts.

less /etc/apf/deny_hosts.rules

# added 83.76.86.xxx on 12/04/18 12:09:33 with comment: dFixblock2

83.76.86.xxx

Dfix2 is very compelling, but just too strict. And since I couldn't find out 
how to edit the rules in /etc/sec, I turned it off keeping APF and Fail2ban 
only.

No problems anymore. Until the next hack?:-(

Best regards

Hi Greg,
Hi Colin.

Look at /var/log/sec for anything that might indicate if it was dFix that 
blocked. If you see something there, we can tune to prevent that happening 
again.

GK

I did grep the log for the BX IPs but no result.
It is very weird – but I do like to run DFix2/APF on all my VPS and this is the 
only one doing strange stuff.

I will have another look and see if I can locate anything.

Thanks

Colin

I have a problem with one 5209R VPS that I cannot fathom.
I would be interested in some feedback.

I am running DFix2 / APF and APF appears to be blocking access to Blueonyx.it 
and also the Letsencrypt servers.
The GUI cannot get BX News or the shop.
LE renewals fail.

I haven’t touched any of the rules.

If I flush iptables it all starts working for a few hours.
If I disable AFP it all works.

I have looked in iptables for the BX IP but nothing.
Same with APF blacklist. Not listed.

I run DFix2 / APF on all my servers and don’t have a problem - except on this 
one.

Any thoughts (Michael/Greg)?

I have tried removing APF and re-installing without any luck.

Regards

Colin
