Hi, I use APF on my Linux VPS. APF is an SPI firewall, it will block a port if it sees too many packets that match its definitions of DDoS attacks. I recently had this feature block port 25 on my VPS. Is there a way to tell APF to not block port 25 ever or maybe block it for only 5 to 10 minutes at most? It seems to clear this blocked condition I have to flush APF and iptables. Does anyone know how I can maybe do this with a shell script and crontab? Maybe probe port 25 every 15 minutes and if no response flush APF and iptables? I'm not sure how I would test port 25 in a shell script. Or maybe this is not a good idea.
