We are pleased to announce the release of Juggernaut Security and Firewall 3.0 under General Availability. This is a major release and all users are encouraged to upgrade. This release has passed Plesk certification and is now available in the Plesk extension directory.
Domain Level Country Blocking
Create access policies to deny or allow access to URLs based on the users country, continent, or autonomous system number. The Apache MaxMind DB geolocation module provides geo-filtering at the web server level. You can learn more about the new domain level country blocking here.
Webmail Policy
Administrators can now create a policy for Roundcube webmail to allow or deny access based on the users country, continent, or autonomous system number.
Messenger V3
The new Messenger V3 uses Apache to provide the web server functionality for the messenger services. It uses a fraction of the resources that the LFD inbuilt service uses and overcomes the memory overhead of using the messenger HTTPS service. This option is recommended for advanced users who host a lot of domains as it provides better PCI compliance, multi-language support, and uses less resources. You can learn more about the new Messenger V3 here.
MaxMind ASN Database Support
We've added the MaxMind Autonomous System Number database to the list of databases that will be downloaded by Juggernaut Firewall. This allows us to lookup the network, ASN, and organization information for an IP address.
Changelog
[+] Added support for AlmaLinux 8.3.
[+] Added support for the MaxMind DB Apache geolocation module. The MaxMind DB Apache packages will be installed from the danami-juggernaut repo.
[+] Added a new policy area where admins, resellers, and customers can manage Apache web server access policies. Users can allow or deny access to specific URLs based on the users country, continent, or autonomous system number.
[+] Added a new webmail policy page where the admin can allow or deny access to the webmail based on the users country, continent, or autonomous system number.
[+] Updated the IP address network information lookup page to include the network, ASN, and organization information. Users must first download the MaxMind ASN database under geolocation settings for these items to be displayed.
[+] Added CSF messenger V3 support to allow the messenger service to use Apache directly instead of starting its own messenger daemon. To enable messenger v3 press the default button on the messenger settings page to apply the Plesk defaults, check the messenger v3 checkbox, then restart the login failure daemon.
[+] Added a new permissions page under settings so that admins can allow or deny access to the policies area for customers and resellers.
[+] Added Apache monitoring to the dashboard services widget.
[+] Added new `maxminddb` and `geofilter` options to the installer command line interface.
[+] Added an additional pre-install check to make sure that the operating system is fully supported.
