You can only add rules to iptables as root, so you need root access. For that you can use the csf CLI.

Is there not a way to add to the deny file?

Or maybe htaccess file.

I got mods I'd like to add IP but bot give control panel or root.

Hi,

Sorry for bumping this topic, but the API really is something I would love to see and even pay for.
We would like to integrate it into our site so that a user that creates a ticket for an unreachable website goes through a wizard on our website. It would check whether the user's IP address is currently blocked in the firewall he wants to log a ticket for.

If it does, it would be nice if we can proactively inform the client, so he doesn't need to create a ticket.

For his first 5 blocks for instance, we would allow him to auto-unblock through that same wizard, indicating a reason why he believes his IP was blocked. After his 5 garce unblocks have been used, he would be required to rais a ticket nevertheless.

Either way - this kind of scenario would allow us to lower the level of tickets we receive, and increase customer self management abilities.

So yes - we would LOVE to see such an API ourselves!

As already mentioned, you should use the CLI as all commands must be run as root. If you want to run the CLI commands from an account that isn't a superuser you should use the Linux sudoers facility. You can store information on blocks using the inbuilt BLOCK_REPORT facility.
