Data Centre, Network & POP Maintenance Notice – Wed evening & Thu morning, October 28th/29th 2015

During the evening of Wednesday, October 28th from 10pm that night (through to 6am on Thursday morning) we will be performing upgrades to network infrastructure (routers, switches & other network-based infrastructure) and selected hosting server platforms of Network Presence in Sydney, Australia.

Customers with services (VPS) on the platforms to be upgraded will be emailed advisory notices shortly, and this is a general notice related to other ancillary upgrades and Infrastructure Maintenance being performed during this scheduled window of time.

This Maintenance Window starts from 10pm Sydney time on the evening of Wednesday, October 28th, 2015 through to 6am on the Thursday morning, and I’ll be personally contactable by phone & online during and after these works in-case there’s any issues that arise. During this Maintenance Window, selected network or server equipment will be worked on and restarted. Works will be completed as quickly as possible (timing information will be in emails to affected customers) and restarts are short service interruptions only.

This will incur outages to selected hosting services of Network Presence in Australia during this off-peak scheduled works period.
Minimal to no impact is expected to the general Internet Connectivity of Network Presence during these works.

Our Engineers will be remaining on-site during Thursday at our Sydney Data Centre to quickly attend to any issues post-upgrades which may arise.

FYI and regards,
Richard.

Use Fail2Ban to block WordPress login botnets

Fail2Ban is great at being able to parse logfiles and generate IP Filter Firewall rules (usually “DROP”) against patterns that are unwanted.

The common use of Fail2Ban is to firewall SSH login dictionary scans, but here’s how you add to just 2 files in your Fail2Ban config to block > 3 wp-login.php attempts from an IP Address.

Please note this is for GNU/Linux (Debian/Ubuntu etc) and please feel free to contact us for RHEL based equivalent commands/setup.

Add the following lines to /etc/fail2ban/jail.local

[wp-auth]
enabled = true
filter = wp-auth
action = iptables-multiport[name=NoAuthFailures, port=”http,https”]
maxretry = 3
logpath = /var/log/apache2/access.log

Add the following lines to /etc/fail2ban/filter.d/wp-auth.conf
[Definition]
failregex = ^ .* “POST /wp-login.php
ignoreregex =

Then run as the root user:

service fail2ban reload

FYI,
Richard.

Seeking Expressions of Interest in Adelaide VPS/Colo POP

Based on an offer from a supplier and other extended discussions with local relevant suppliers in the Adelaide Data Centre market, we’re looking to quickly establish an Adelaide POP for Network Presence, focused on servicing the VPS and Colo markets in South Australia with some very attractive pricings and discounts for services of Network Presence purchased to be provided from Adelaide’s major Data Centres.

Ideally, we’d like to get up to 1-2 racks online servicing customers from Adelaide as quickly as possible and to do that we’re offering a Coupon for any VPS or Colo products available at our online Store, provisioned and online ASAP in 2015.

This South Australia and Adelaide POP of Network Presence would have connectivity through to our main Sydney east-coast Australian POP (providing some form of ‘private’ Sydney<->Adelaide connectivity), but would also utilise Adelaide’s geographic location to have its primary transit out west via Perth and its submarine cables to Asia, providing a unique level of redundancy for Network Presence Australian customers.

The Data Centres being considered in Adelaide are fully redundant and are run by some of Australia’s largest Commercial Telcos and please contact us if you’re interested or would like more details.

FYI and regards,
Richard.
