Question about CSF logs and records

[surreal]

Good Day,

This is my first time using CSF as my firewall for my VPS, I have it working now because certain ports were closed when i enable CSF, but i would like to know as to what logfile should i look if i wanted to see CSF blocked ips or what log file should i tail to see it working? I have it installed on a debian system. Thanks!

I'm seeing lots of these on my /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog

Code: Select all

I'm not sure if it is blocking or just a normal activity..
