Block HTTP & FTP servers

For this, first make sure your device runs the firmware 23.0s0 or above.
From this version, a new COM parameter is available called "ClosedDevice".
You can access it using the tabular edition of the device web interface.



The ClosedDevice parameter is a bitwise value that allows you to block the access to the web server (HTTP) and or the FTP server on the LAN and VPN IP interfaces. With firmware 23.0s0 the WAN interface is fully protected, so no service is available on this interface. 

Here is the table of the possible values :

Bit Setting  Decimal Value Description
00000000 0 No additional protection (default)
1 00000001 1 Close FTP Server on LAN interface
2 00000010 2 Close HTTP Server on LAN interface
1 + 2 00000011 3 Close FTP and HTTP Servers on LAN interface
5 00010000 16 Close FTP server on VPN interface
1 + 5 00010001 17 Close FTP server on LAN & VPN interfaces
6 00100000 32 Close HTTP server on VPN interface
2 + 6 00100010 34 Close HTTP server on LAN & VPN interfaces
5 + 6 00110000 48 Close FTP & HTTP servers on VPN interface
1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 00111111 63 Close all protocols on all interfaces


The HTTP & FTP servers ports blocked by the ClosedDevice parameters are the ones configured in the COM parameters "IpsHttpP1", "IpsHttpP2" and "IpsFtpP"



NOTE : A reboot of the device is required to apply properly the blocking of the selected service.

 

Block Ebuddy connections

To block the Ebuddy UDP port 1507, you can set the COM parameter "CfgProtoDis" to 1.

 

Block USBIP Service

The USBIP Service is the service that allows you to connect USB devices remotely through Talk2m.  The service uses the TCP ports starting with 6000. To enable it, a shortcut to the USB over IP setup page is available on the Cosy+ summary page (GUI), under the Gateway Status section. 
If you want to set the corresponding parameter using Tabular Edition, you can enable it by setting the COM parameter "UsbIpEnable" to 1.
