CSF's IP deny doesn't work

[easd]

Hi,

I recently installed CSF on my VPS and found out that the IP deny doesn't work.

I wanted to try and see if the IP deny works, so I blocked one my of the IP addresses. When I tried accessing the site from the the blocked IP address, I can still access the site.

Any ideas why?

Is the firewall enabled ? Is the ip on the deny list you checked it ?

Hi yes, the firewall is enabled and the IP is in the deny list.
