Default firewall config?

Any one advise where the config for the firewall is at?

I looked for /etc/firewall.conf but not finding it there or elsewhere?

Need to make changes for my setup v. ticket, ticket, ticket....

Thanks!

Look at /usr/sbin/firewall

Btw I would suggest you install CSF (ConfigServer Firewall):

I second queitFinn. I'm using CSF on my VPS. I've applied that firewall on many servers I had in the past and it does work great!

It's a free software and you can manage it in WHM.

It's just as easy to mess something up trying to modify the firewall file directly. Easy enough to add your IP to the allowed list in CSF and not have to worry about getting locked out. I'm not sure if HG uses the default APF firewall or a custom one. I've worked with APF doing everything from the command line and have used CSF now for a couple of years on my dedicated server. I much prefer CSF, it makes it easier to maintain.

I agree on that. And if you leave CSF in test mode until you are sure everything works you can't go wrong.
Even if you do lock yourself out it will reset itself and you are back in.
