Hello,

I recently installed APF on the server and discovered that I was not able to access the NAS backup offered by The Planet. After some figuring out I found that it's the firewall that's blocking it.

Now I'm supposed to do this:
Please ensure that your firewall is open to allow FTP and FTP-DATA to 67.19.0.29. Also open the firewall for TCP/UDP ports 137, 138, 139, and 445 to 67.19.0.29.

But not sure what to add to the conf.apf and where!!! :confused:

Anyone can provide a guide?

Many thanks!

hi,

pico /etc/apf/conf.apf

and add ports in incoming tcp & udp to ensure .

also add the above ip to /etc/apf/allowed_hosts

that's all

all you need to do is add the ip to

/etc/apf/allow_hosts.rules

or do

apf -a 67.19.0.29

hi!

so I don't need to edit conf.apf at all right?

does apf -a 67.19.0.29 permanently fix the issue?

no sir ,
add them to the file use pico & save it CTRL+X and type y

so it's easy .

apf -a will add it to the allow hosts yes.

sorry I'm a bit confused!

type

apf -a <ip address> thats it.

DO you have apf installed?

/etc/apf/apf -a

sure i installed it .

and it's running , but your command requiers iptables.

so , adding them to the allow list is easy i think .

in both cases it's running :)

Dude apf requires iptables period. Your paths are screwed up on your box.

cd /usr/bin;ln -s /sbin/iptables
