All About Vultr Firewall

The Firewall offers several features similar to server operating system firewalls. Furthermore, it some with several key differences like:

  • Allows us to manage the firewall through the Vultr control panel.
  • The packet filtering occurs at a higher level on the network, thereby reducing the resource usage of the server.
  • Updating the firewall policy for multiple servers is faster and more convenient.

In fact, the server instance can make use of the Firewall or the OS firewall, or even both at the same time. We can manage firewall rules with these steps:

  1. First, we have to click Firewall on the Vultr control panel.
  2. Next, we will click the pencil icon in order to the firewall group.
