Firewall

View and edit firewall rules.

OpenPanel supports both ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) and Uncomplicated Firewall (UFW). By default, CSF is installed, but you can choose to install UFW instead by using the --ufw option during installation.

Based on the installed firewall, the OpenAdmin > Firewall page will display either the ConfigServer Firewall UI or the custom UFW interface.

CSF

If ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) is installed, it's integrated UI will be displayed on OpenAdmin > Firewall.

For instructions on how to use the CSF UI, please refer to ConfigServer Security & Firewall official documentation.

External Firewall

Some cloud providers, like Hetzner, offer their own external firewalls. If you are using an external firewall, ensure the following ports are open for OpenPanel services to be accessible: 53 80 443 2083 2087 32768:60999

If you are using a custom port for OpenPanel instead of the default 2083, ensure that port is open as well.

Restart rules

To re-open all necessary ports for OpenPanel services and users, run the command: opencli firewall-reset
