You asked about the firewall in his web interface, not the one on the VPS. I have used hosts before that have a firewall on the parent server that I control using a web interface and then also allow me to use firewall software on my VPS, such as iptables.

I can see that it is refusing the initial connection but sourcebans also only gives a generic error output for pretty much every SQL error.
|
But it isn't SourceBans that is producing the error but the MySQL Module. Also, that is the standard MySQL error message for when it fails to initiate the connection, regardless of the programming language

Obviously my IP is not in his allowed hosts config but it should at least give a response telling me the connection was refused but it fails to even connect so either it is the wrong IP or there is some sort of firewall blocking it.

Right, except if your IP wasn't allowed to connect you would be getting a completely different error message

Only so much we can do if he says theres no firewall and the IP is correct. If I had to guess I would guess the IP is wrong.

I would guess that iptables is running and blocking the connection or mysqld isn't even running
