This guide shows you how to configure firewall rules in the LumaDock panel for your Windows-based VPS. You’ll learn to allow RDP access, enable ping, and protect your system from unwanted traffic.

Recommended Rules

1. Allow RDP (Remote Desktop) from your IP

Direction: Inbound
Action: Accept
Protocol: TCP
Port: 3389
Source IP: your IP (e.g. 123.123.123.123)
Comment: Allow RDP

2. Allow ICMP (Ping)

Direction: Inbound
Action: Accept
Protocol: ICMP
Port: Any
Source IP: Any
Comment: Allow ping

3. (Optional) Allow Outbound

Direction: Outbound
Action: Accept
Protocol: Any
Port: Any
Destination IP: Any
Comment: Allow all outgoing

4. (Optional) Drop All Inbound Else

Direction: Inbound
Action: Drop
Protocol: Any
Port: Any
Source IP: Any
Comment: Drop all else

Warning: Always whitelist your IP before adding a DROP rule. If you’re locked out, use the VNC console in your LumaDock panel to regain access.

If you're not sure what to allow, or you lose access after a rule change, just contact LumaDock support. We're here to help you get back online safely.
