Cant access a remote server due mistake by setting firewall rule
- by LMIT
I need help due a my silly mistake!
So for long time i have a dedicate server hosted by register.it
Usually i access remotly to this server (Windows 2008 server) by Terminal Server.
Today i wanted to block one site that continually send request to my server.
So i was adding a new rule in the firewall (the native firewall on windows 2008 server), as i did many time, but this time, probably i was sleeping with my brain i add a general rules that stop everything!
So i cant access to the server anymore, as no any users can browse the sites, nothing is working because this rule block everything.
I know that is a silly mistake, no need to tell me :) so please what i can do ?
The only 1 thing that my provider let me is reboot the server by his control panel, but this not help me in any way because the firewall block me again.
i have administrator username and password, so what i really can do ?
there are some trick some tecnique, some expert guru that can help me in this very bad situation ?
UPDATE
i follow the Tony suggest and i did a NMAP to check if some ports are open but look like all closed:
