    I am sysadmin and root - but the Plesk > Tools & Settings > Firewall  does NOT work. "Firewall" is nOT listed there. In fact, the search function for 'firewall' does NOT tell you where how/to do this.?

    Plesk Parallels ver 12.5 on a Centos 7 dedicated server.

    • OS: ‪CentOS Linux 7.4.1708 (Core)‬
    • Plesk version: 12.5.30 Update #76 , last updated at July 20, 2018 03:44 AM

    Hello @Sid,

    Most probably this means that "Firewall" is not installed.

    It may be installed at Tools & Settings > Updates and Upgrade > Add and Remove Product Components > Plesk extensions > Firewall

    IMHO this should not be done by the Plesk code, which should enable manual configuration.
