error with numiptent

[ikaruz]

Hi

i just got this error on one of my VPS. I have same provider and configuration for years on different VPSs, but I started to get this error.

Error: The VPS iptables rule limit (numiptent) is too low to add 8443 rules (191/2000) - *IPs not added*, at line 5767

A few hours ago, I reinstalled csf, was able to start the firewall but a few minutes ago the problem arises again.

I searched the frorum but no similar error was reported since 2016.....

Could anyone please tell me where to look, and what these error means in terms of iptables rules why here are 8443 rules??? is that what it means? what the (191/2000). ??? where may I look to decrease the iptables rules and who is responsible for filling up my rules??

BTW This is a cPanel box.

Thanks in advance
