Hi,

CSF is not running on vps server. Trying to restart gives this :

Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
iptables v1.3.5: can't initialize iptables table `filter': Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)

OK so we decided to block some well known exploit and spam IPs and countries (mainly China and similar) using BOTH csf (CC_Deny setting) on the server and htaccess on specific domains.. Now here's the kicker and problem.
These blocked IPs are still getting thru to Apache and other services and generating page requests, email login hack attempts, etc..

here is a couple of examples:

Hi guys,
fantastic product. And like so many my first post is a query to ask for your help.
Basically im looking for what used to be listed as the csf.tempban file.
previously the temp ban information was kept in this file which i would get its contents and send it as daily log an e-mail.

I can see from the change log that it had caused problems in the change log back in version 4 but i'm now...

Hi all,

TIMEOUT: tail command took too long. Timed out after 30 seconds

Doing a Search system logs shows the following error also:

Any ideas on what to check regarding this? I have already...

I cannot uninstall CSF as well. I get the error sh: uninstall. sh: Too many levels of symbolic links .

I have created /etc/csfuibuttondisable and CSF button colors continue the same.

Is there an instruction on how to add this to /etc/csfuibuttondisable - is at a file? a selection in the firewall configuration?

I am trying to allow a particular IP address to access port 3306. I have removed 3306 from the TCP_IN list in csf configuration, and am trying to add the IP address to the csf.allow file. I have tried the following:

d=3306:s=11.22.33.44
d=3306|s=11.22.33.44
tcp:in:d=3306:s=11.22.33.44
tcp|in|d=3306|s=11.22.33.44

...where 11.22.33.44 is the IP address I want to allow, but after restarting the...

Is it possible to refresh the Dyndns allow list using a URL?

The reason is my firewalls will check every 15 minutes if my IP has changed, but in emergencies this is quite bad, but its rare, so I dont want to set it to refresh every 1 minute.

So I wondered if I can kick start this refresh externally, like from a URL or something? So in an emergency I update my IP, then I call this URL to...

Hi,

I'm running csf 6.30 on Cloudlinux and having issues with some css files not loading.

Log:

Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 503 (Service Unavailable) file.css

When I turn off csf this error disappears. Any ideas what can cause this?

EDIT: Not only CSS files are affected, seems to be all random, can it be because of to low CT_LIMIT?

For the last several months I've spent several hours a day battling with dictionary attackers and various hacker attempts on my server, and most of that time was busy inputting IP's to block through the firewall. But your last upgrade has been a godsend! Now you automatically detect and block 99% of the cretins who were causing my server overloads just a month ago. I hardly know what to do with...

Is there some way that CSF can be used to effectively prevent the attack described in CVE-2010-5107? I'm not overly concerned about this issue (it *has* existed for 11 years, after-all) but the third-party company that does security scans for PCI compliance wants it resolved. The suggested solution is to upgrade OpenSSH to 6.2 to use new feature that mitigate this risk but 6.2 is very new and...

Hello everyone,

Does anybody experiences this particualr issue? When I have csf enabled, my server shows a very bad ping, up to 70% packet loss in my ping report. But when I disabled it, ping goes back to 100%.

Can anybody help?

Thanks n advance.

We have found that if a user is in a screen or tmux session and they su or sudo su an alert is not fired. If the user exits their screen/tmux session, the alerts will fire just fine.

It seems to be poorly documented that who am i does not properly return a user when the session is in screen/tmux. However, logname and other env variable such as $SUDO_USER will return the base user.

I recently made a change in one of my firewall settings and was going to restart csf and lfd. However, there is an error regarding the CLUSTER_PORT that I don't understand. That's not a change that I made and it is saying:

CLUSTER_PORT sanity check. CLUSTER_PORT = . Recommended range: 1023-65535 (Default: 7777)

When I go and look at the Cluster port section of the firewall, it's not a field...
