cannot seem to block an IP number

Post by edwardsmarkf »

hello -

i tried putting "50.18.190.80" into my "firewall deny IP" list, yet this IP is not being blocked. using browserstack.com, i am still able to pull up this page.

i first checked the IP number in question using https://whatismyipnumber.com which gave me "50.18.190.80"

that same IP number was first put into "temporarily allow/deny" and blocked for 600 seconds, but again the IP is still able

any suggestions what i might be doing wrong?

version 11.07

Is it a standard installation or DirectAdmin etc.? What is in the /etc/csf/csf.deny file?

sorry stupid post - csf was not running - need to first do:

systemctl unmask firewalld ; ##

i have never seen this command before.

firewalld runs independent of csf/lfd, you shouldn't need it.
