KeyHelp Community

Hello,

If I want permanently disable services like FTP and DNS is it enough to stop it under Settings>Service Management or something like
is needed ? What will happen after Keyhelp updates to new version(s) ?



Thanks

You can disable those services on the dashboard, then you can close the ports. This shouldn't break stuff. Both services remain on the system and will be updated, etc.

Maybe removing them completely might break stuff during a upgrade, but i am not really sure about that (never tested).

I have a similar question, I need to disable all mail capabilities.

In the control panel I blocked mail ports (SMTP IMAP POP3), and disabled all 6 email services.

But after reboot they will be enabled again, so this is not really a permanent solution

If you disable the ports (via the KeyHelp firewall), they remain disabled even after a reboot.

If you stop the services, you must also stop the autostart of these services in the operating system. This is outside the (targeted) scope of KeyHelp and you must utilize operating system commands to accomplish this.
