Title: Strange IP address showing up in log info.
Post by: atmhobby on November 14, 2009, 10:38:07 PM

Has anyone ever seen anything like this. (please see png file)

I do not have any of these file names on my system.  This has been happening now for a couple of days, and I am wondering if I should be concerned.

I checked it.  Is there anything else I can do to make HFS more secure?

hi atmhobby

At first, you should secure your filesystem setting the needed permissions to folders and accounts. Start looking in the wiki: http://www.rejetto.com/wiki/index.php/First_time_configuration (http://www.rejetto.com/wiki/index.php/First_time_configuration) how to do it.

If you have troubles with some users from some ip's, you can ban them: -->F7 -> bans.

You can also provide further protection using macros in your template. For example if you only want to allow access to your server from your lan using your computername (http:mycomputer:port) and from wan using the your url (http://atmhobby.no-ip.com:port) and not using your ip, then you can put something like this at the beginning of your template:

{.if not|{.or|{.pos|mycomputer|{.header|host.}.}|{.pos|atmhobby.no-ip|{.header|host.}.}.}|{:{.disconnect.}:}.}

the action you did was not about security.
it was just to stop showing "scaring" information in the log.
those strange requests were never served, and thus, don't mean you had any problem.

Rejetto, can you please explain more clearly what you are asking for?  On my menu (HFS 2.2f in expert mode)  I don't have "log" anything.  I can't find a 'served requests' option anywhere.

i'm sorry
it's not "menu", but "log menu".
you have to right click on the log pane, and you will get another menu.
