Hello!

I've got a big problem. Basically for SSH, I moved the service to run on a non-custom port and restricted access to that port to just my home IP address. However I recently upgraded my internet which changed my IP address. I didn't think about this beforehand of course, so now I'm locked out of root access to my server via CLI, but can still log in with no problem to the DA GUI because I left that service open to the world.

Also unfortunately, my VPS provider does not offer console access (I've opened about 5 tickets because it's ridiculous because I'm pretty sure they're using xen), so I'm not able to log in via IPMI/management to the console and make the changes "locally".

So all that being said, I was curious if there's any way with DirectAdmin installed and accessible via the admin account, can I make any changes to my iptables somehow? It's killing me because I know the password and port, and the sites are still being hosted via DA, but I've locked myself out!

I really don't think there is, but this was a last ditch effort. Thanks in advance!
