It seems LFD outputs its "blocked" messages (eg. "Firewall: *UDP_IN Blocked* IN=eth0...") to the system journal with priority 4 (warning), even when it's just blocking incoming traffic based on port number. This makes them gold-coloured in my TTY, but more annoyingly it gets spam...

It seems that unless you put the following in ui.allow:
... lfd won't allow browsers on localhost to connect (connection is reset). As localhost is automatically whitelisted in other places with CSF/LFD, surely it should be auto-whitelisted for the UI?

During a recent update the web UI on my LFD has broken; it now just gives me "ERR_CONNECTION_RESET". Nothing error-related is being logged in /var/log/lfd.log. What could the problem be?

Why should your browser dictate which port you put your web interface on? I don't want it on a standard port. Defense in depth.

OK, I manually started LFD again with systemctl start lfd and it now works. I'd put this one down to "commandline csf -e and csf -r should really start lfd at the same time as csf". Not starting LFD is pretty unintuitive.

I've just noticed someone else has had the same problem; LFD is failing to start. Topic at: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=10220&p=28098

I'm getting exactly the same error. lfd is dead as a dodo. It looks like some recent update has broken things. :-(

My LFD web UI was working fine. I clicked "disable firewall" and it stopped responding. I then enabled the firewall with "csf -e" as root, and the firewall was enabled (apparently)... but now I get "connection refused" when I try to connect to the LFD web UI. I've tried...

Right now I have lfd configured to e-mail me whenever it blocks, so I get a lot of e-mails "blocked for port scanning", among others. This is getting to be a lot of e-mails, 100-200 per day. It would be nice if lfd stored up the day's blocks, and sent an e-mail summary at the end of the da...

Firefox and IE "The connection failed". Please, help me... Yeah, configuring the web interface to let you connect can be a real pain. - Make sure these are set in csf.conf: UI = "1" UI_PORT = "6666" - Put your IP address (that you are connecting from) in this file: /et...
