Overview
The VPS Firewall feature in the Virtualizor panel provides an advanced layer of security for your Virtual Private Server (VPS). It allows you to create and manage firewall rules/plans that control the traffic flowing in and out of your VPS, ensuring that your server is protected from unauthorized access and potential threats. It will work for VPS level firewall.
