We are excited to announce vFirewall, our new firewall service running on the edge of our cloud infrastructure’s network.
What is vFirewall?
vFirewall moves firewall protection out of your VPS and onto the infrastructure layer. Instead of configuring and maintaining iptables, ufw, firewalld, or any other firewall software, your traffic is filtered before it ever reaches your server.
That means one less service running on your server, one less thing that can be misconfigured, and one less digital asset to defend.
The vFirewall Advantage
“Just as our VPS service is deployed in seconds upon order, we wanted the Firewall service to be just as effortless. Not everyone in our clientele is an experienced server administrator, so we went the extra mile to make vFirewall easy to configure, without requiring advanced server skills or in-depth technical knowledge.”

No installation, no maintenance – Traditional firewalls reside inside the operating system, competing for CPU and memory, and requiring careful rule management to avoid accidentally locking yourself out. vFirewall eliminates that entirely. There’s nothing to install, patch, or break.
Enhanced security by default – Filtering happens before the traffic reaches the VPS so malicious packets are stopped at a layer above the VPS. This minimizes the window for exploitation, even if the VPS operating system has vulnerabilities.
Simple, centralized management – Manage all your firewall rules from myNetShop, the intuitive self-service control panel. Whether your VPS is running on Ubuntu, Almalinux, Debian, or Windows, you are dealing with one simple interface to manage the firewall rules for all.
Zero performance overhead on the VPS – Since the firewall rules enforcement happens at a network level, your VPS’s resources are dedicated entirely to the applications, not to filtering traffic.
Available Now on VPS PRO Plans
vFirewall is included with all VPS Pro packages (fixed-specs and Flexi) at no additional cost.
