Configuring and Managing Firewall

When you buy a Virtual Private Server (VPS) , Sify CloudInfinit platform creates a single tier virtual private data center with one firewall and a Virtual Private Instance (VPI).  The single tier reference architecutre looks like below. Your VPI is protected with complete security in our cloud  .

                                                

By default following rules are configured by us during automatic provisioning.

  • All Incoming Traffic is BLOCKED
  • Default RDP Rule is created but disabled ( you need to enable it )
  • Default SSH Rule is created but disabled ( you need to enable )
  • All outbound Traffic is OPEN

We give you complete access to you to configure and manage the firewall by yourself. The remaining section of the documentation will help you to learn more on firewall administration.
