    How to use GRE with cpanel

    I need to use a VPS with buyVM to protect a server from DDoS attack.

    The buyVM have a wiki to this on http://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/gre_tunnel

    This config is easy but I have a questions about how to use to cpanel.

    I plan on using a VPS with DNS only for DNS and a VPS to in front of the server that I want to protect.

    But the cpanel creates the domains with the local main IP, how to configure the cpanel to work with this scenery?

    VPS with DNS only > VPS with protection > GRE tunnel > server to protect

    I need to set the IP of the VPS protected on the WHM config ? Or is more complex?

    You're over complicating it

    Put in a ticket, we'll get you fixed up at no additional cost.

    You'll need to put your SSH keys on your other cpanel server, though, http://wiki.buyvm.net/doku.php/public_keys

    Francisco thanks but I have not bought the VPS still, must first learn how to configure to not lose money.

    My only question is if I need to make additional settings on cpanel server because the cpanel creates the account with main IP of the server(not the VPS filtered).

    I will use a separated VPS server with cpanel DNS only and the cpanel will syncronize the DNS zones with the main IP of the dedicated server...

    So you're wanting to DDOS protect your shared server as well as run DNSONLY on a single VPS? That's not going to work since both DNSONLY & CPANEL have WHM running on port 2086/2087.

    There's additional tuning needed to get cPanel to play nice but as I said, we will gladly help with that at no additional cost.

    We've helped lots of people protect their cpanel boxes
