We’re thrilled to announce the release of Plesk Obsidian 18.0.70, our Anniversary Edition. It’s a milestone made possible by our incredible community. To celebrate, we’ve added a little surprise: type DISCO in your Plesk panel and see what happens!
Let’s dive into what’s new, improved, and exciting in this special release.
Panel & Hosting Enhancements
Stronger Security
We’ve introduced rate-limiting for login attempts to help protect your servers from brute-force and DDoS attacks. To configure this feature, add lines following the pattern below to the panel.ini file:
[security]
bruteforceProtection.enabled = true ;Enables or disables brute force protection.
bruteforceProtection.rateLimit = 5 ;The number of failed access attempts allowed by an IP address.
bruteforceProtection.rateLimitPeriod = 300 ;The rate limit period in seconds.
