DirectAdmin (DA) installation tutorial (2016)

I haven’t installed DA for a long time, mainly because it’s impossible to just reinstall it after it’s been installed on the server. I’ve been bored recently and happened to have idle licenses, so I found a KVM VPS to install it to see what new official changes there are, and record it by the way. Next process. In fact, the installation process of DA is quite simple, especially if you follow its default installation without customizing the installation.

After the preliminary preparations are completed, we start downloading and installing the source code.

DirectAdmin (DA) adds the function of locking IP (official iptables rules)

Security is a very heavy topic. When we are faced with reminder emails about violent password guessing that we receive every day, and when we see a bunch of shocking IPs in the background, we should not remain silent! Good VPS. As a technical novice and a super lazy person, asking me to write a rule and block IPs one by one is a very boring thing. Now, let’s take a look at the solution given to us by the official help center: Add IP locking function to DA backend!
