Hi!

I've got a PRO license through VPS.NET, it's working great, and I love the control panel.

However I have a little doubt about the firewall. I can see in the CP this:

but if I run iptables -L I don't see all the rules I'd expect to see etc.
Which firewall is used behind the scenes?
Can I trust all the unneded ports are closed, and that additional rules for improved security are already in place?

Also, one thing that I am missing from Virtualmin is the possibility to backup to Amazon S3 directly. Is this in the works? I'd love to have this possibility.

For the time being, how do you others currently perform off site backups?
S3 would be best for backups as you wouldn't need SSH access, FTP, etc.

Thanks!
