Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : Cant reach my server cos of Firewall and DDOS

[rcpkrc]

hello mates, l installed APF (Advanced Policy Firewall) and (D)DoS Deflate. after installation l closed ssh and rebooted.
when l try to reach again, it was saying password was not right. l tried to reach via whm and it was saying

This account is currently locked out because a brute force attempt was detected. Please wait a few minutes and try again. Attempting to login again will only increase this delay. If you frequently experience this problem, we recommend having your username changed to something less generic.

How can l reach my server?
thanks...

normally via provider control panel you should had the access to your server for sort of type of cases, you can simply temporary disable the APF and access the server via ssh, don't forget to add your IP to allow list.

Hello,

If you still have the problem and you can not access the server via your old password, it can be you forgot it or anything else, you can request a rescue system from your datacenter and change the root password from it and also disable the firewall and then reactive the server and check it.

Looks like your IP got blacklisted by the firewall.
Either wait or try connecting to the server via some other way (eventually another server or redial in with your ISP).
