Virtualizor uses linux’s iptables to manage the server firewall. The Firewall API allows you to manage the server firewall where you can perform multiple operations such as blocking/allowing ports and restarting firewall and much more. The API response will contain the “output” key which consists of the output of the iptables after execution of the firewall rule.
