vnStat is a network traffic monitor for Linux that keeps a log of daily network traffic for the selected interface(s). vnStat isn’t a packet sniffer. The traffic information is analyzed from the /proc -filesystem, so vnStat can be used without root permissions. However at least a 2.2.x kernel is required.

  1. Install vnStat

KISS My Firewall is a FREE iptables script designed for a typical web server. It takes advantage of the latest firewall technologies including stateful packet inspection and connection tracking.

KISS My Firewall 2 is very easy to install and does not require any initial configuration. It will work with any stock installation of Ensim WEBppliance Basic & Pro, Plesk, and Webmin. Cpanel installations require some modifications. Available at: http://www.geocities.com/steve93138/

What’s New in Version 2 ?

The biggest change is that it does not require any initial configuration. With version 2, you won’t automatically lock yourself out of your server unless you set some of the variables incorrectly. It also does extensive error checking and is distributed as a tar file. This solves a lot of the issues that were present with the older version. In addition, version 2 is highly configurable and was tested to work with the latest version of iptables – version 1.2.8.
