Hello,

I have searched about the file csf.dnscache but I am not sure what this file is having. I can see an entry similar to the following one.

--
# cat /etc/csf/csf.dnscache
206.169.86.130|206.169.86.130|206-169-86-130.static.twtelecom. net
67.182.18.58|67.182.18.58|c-67-182-18-58.hsd1. ca.comcast. net
93.97.146.248|93.97.146.248|93-97-146-248.zone5. bethere. co. uk
222.186.23.31|222.186.23.31|

Does this file blocks these IP addresses? Are they tracking any information about these IPs to do any action in the future like csf.tempip.

Please help me.

Hello,

This seems to be a block when the firewall detects many connections to the server, i.e. pop/imap logins, cpanel login. Apart from blocks in csf.tempban, tempip or deny, the IP is blocked in csf.dnscache, this file is a kind of temporary block but allows you to connect to the server some times at day.
