I am using a VPS with 4 IPs.
Only the first one was accessible so now I am trying to add the other 3.
I installed webmin which usually works on port 10000, but I could not reach it with its instructions, for example: xxx.cbvngh.com:10000.
Also I started building a site and it was accessible on the internet but now it is not.
I checked the firewall and my IP is not banned.
I can only access the VM with vncviewer, no ssh nor browser.
I am locked out again, and I don't know why this time.
I can restore from backup to a working state, but I would rather find out what is going wrong.
Thanks.

I waited the whole night since my IP was not blacklisted, others were, the usual suspects.
Server is back up, however I still cannot connect to webmin, do some of you guys have experience in BOA + webmin?
I don't want to tinker too much with it for fear of getting kicked out again.
Did you also check the
Did you also check the temporary bans? That would explain why you can get back in now.
I'm not using webmin on boa, but I've tested it previously and accessed it via IP address at port 10000.
Please elaborate: where are
Please elaborate: where are the temporary bans?
Also, I tried IP and got chive, changed port to 10000, user root, pass = correct pass, and access denied.
See man csf for all
See man csf for all options.
csf -t to see temporary bans, csf -tr 12.34.56.78 to remove IP from temp ban, followed by csf -q for quick restart.
So Webmin does show at ip:10000, maybe reset root passwd to be sure you're using the correct one?

Thanks for the follow up.
I just started with BOA, so it's tough, I ask lots of questions.
Info on csf manual very useful, thanks
However, IP:10000 does not launch webmin, neither does web01.mysite.com:10000, those were webmin instructions.
I need webmin basically to add IPs to the server, and assign sites to them. maybe there is another method to do this?
EDIT: I got temporary block for port scanning trying to launch webmin.
Hi ckosloff, It sounds like
Hi ckosloff,
It sounds like you did not open the port for webmin in the firewall.

I think that you are right,
I think that you are right, that port needs to be open.
I read through the manual and could not find instructions for opening that port.
The only section that seems related is #20 - Port knocking.
Could you please be more explicit?

Finally got it to work, but it was not easy.
Had to edit csf.conf to allow incoming connections to port 10000.
Then restart csf with csf -r.
Then go to localhost at master.web01.xxx.com:10000 and log in with root password.
One thing I find annoying is
One thing I find annoying is that every time I upgrade BOA via barracuda up-stable it will upgrade csf too and remove changes to the line that allows incoming ports, I have to re-add 10000 every time.
It will not ask me nor keep my customizations.

Done, nice suggestion, thank you very much.
Will see if next version of barracuda will carry over this setting.
