The firewall feature is crucial for my clients. Any news on the release timeline?

The WHMCS module update timeline hasn't been confirmed yet. Keep an eye on official announcements for updates on the firewall feature for clients.

Interesting feature! Integrating firewall management directly within WHMCS could really streamline client security setup and monitoring. It’d be great to see some examples or a quick guide on how this works in practice.

Managing client firewalls directly from WHMCS can save a lot of time, especially if you’re running multiple VPS or dedicated servers. The key is using a module or API that links WHMCS with your server’s firewall system, so clients can add rules, open ports, or block IPs without needing manual support each time. If your provider supports APIs like CSF, UFW, or a custom panel, integration becomes much easier. It’s a feature worth adding because it reduces tickets and gives clients more control.

Very interesting addition! Integrating firewall controls within WHMCS could really simplify security configuration and monitoring for clients. A few examples or a short guide would make it even clearer.

## **1. Understand the Setup**

WHMCS itself doesn’t directly provide firewall management, but you can integrate it with:

* **Server-level firewalls** (CSF, ConfigServer, iptables, UFW) via WHMCS modules or API
* **Cloud firewalls** (like Cloudflare, AWS Security Groups, or cPanel/WHM firewall) via API integrations

The goal: give your clients a **user-friendly interface** to configure basic firewall rules (allow/deny IPs, block ports, enable/disable services) without logging into the server.

---

## **2. Create a Client Firewall Module**

1. **Decide on firewall type:**

  * For Linux servers: CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall) is popular.
  * For cloud servers: APIs (Cloudflare, AWS, DigitalOcean, etc.) can handle rule changes.

2. **Develop a WHMCS module:**

  * WHMCS modules can use the **Server API** or a **custom PHP script**.
  * Provide functions like:

    * `createRule($clientId, $rule)`
    * `deleteRule($clientId, $ruleId)`
    * `listRules($clientId)`

3. **Add client area interface:**

  * Let clients **add/remove rules**, view blocked/allowed IPs, and see firewall status.
  * Use WHMCS hooks to fetch real-time server data.

---

## **3. Server-Side Configuration**

* **CSF / iptables / UFW:**

  * Ensure the firewall supports dynamic rule updates via scripts or API.
  * Configure a **dedicated API user or key** for WHMCS to authenticate.
* **Cloud firewalls:**

  * Ensure your API credentials have proper permissions (read/write).
  * Rate-limit API calls to avoid hitting provider limits.

---

## **4. Security Considerations**

* **Authentication:** Only allow clients to modify **their own rules**.
* **Input validation:** Make sure IPs, ports, and protocols are sanitized.
* **Logging:** Keep a record of all client changes for auditing.
* **Limits:** Avoid giving unlimited access—e.g., max number of rules per client.

---

## **5. Workflow Example for a Client**

1. Client logs into WHMCS → Client Area → Firewall Settings.
2. Adds a rule: allow 123.123.123.123 to port 22.
3. WHMCS module calls server API → updates firewall dynamically.
4. Rule shows as active in the client area.
5. Client can later remove or disable the rule; WHMCS syncs the change with the server.

---

## **6. Optional Enhancements**

* **Real-time status:** Show blocked/allowed traffic logs.
* **Templates:** Predefined rules for common services (SSH, HTTP, FTP).
* **Notifications:** Email clients when their firewall blocks suspicious traffic.
* **Tiered access:** Allow different firewall levels depending on client plan.
