Affordable VPS plan for Small Business

Vultr is recommend for small business or PBX as a hobby. Their plans as low as $2.5 per month, but it’s only with IPv6.  $3.5 per month with IP4. Much valuable!

Vultr also allows users to upload their own ISO file, so you can upload other distro ISO file.

CentOS Firewall:  firewalld commands I. Introduction Centos7 and above releases have tried to bring firewalld firewall, firewalld to bring iptables firewall.  The reason is that the firewall policy of iptables is handled by the netfilter network filter at the kernel level, while firewalld is handled by the nftables packet filtering framework at the kernel level.  Compared with iptables firewall, firewalld supports dynamic update technology and adds the concept of zone.  To put it simply, the area is that firewalld has prepared several sets of firewall policy sets (policy templates) in advance.
