This forum is only for reproducible bugs with csf and lfd (i.e. not iptables problems, lack of understanding how to use a feature, etc). Posts must be accompanied with full technical details of the problem and how it can be recreated. Any posts not adhering to this, or not considered bugs, will be moved to the General Discussion (csf) forum.
I dont know if this was fixed in the very last release but I know the one before it had this problem. Basicaly if you had connection tracking on tmp ban it would ban whitelisted ips. For example I had a few server setups that use remote sql and such and everyone I had set on tmp ban was banning the mysql server. I am positive the ips were whitelisted in all instances.
My solution was to just change the temp to perm ban but I figured I would report this
I'm not sure I follow. IP's listed in csf.allow are purely for setting up the iptables chain rules. If you want lfd to ignore certain IP addresses (i.e. not ban them) they have to be listed in csf.ignore.
