We are using CSF firewall in a directadmin server. We are trying to use the LF_DIRECTADMIN feature so that access is denied for the abuse IP only for that particular IP. The relevant values we use are as follows.

=====
LF_SELECT = "1"
LF_DIRECTADMIN = "5"
LF_DIRECTADMIN_PERM = "600"
=====

But this does not work. If an IP is blocked, access for that IP is blocked across the server and not for directadmin alone.

The same settings works for other services such as ssh(LF_SSH) etc. It is only with LF_DIRECTADMIN that we face this issue.

P.S We tested the same setting on 10 different server and all have the same issue.

This will happen on DA servers if you have LF_SELECT enabled. In the next release of csf we will add a PORTS_directadmin option so that port specific blocks can be used with DA.

This should now be addressed in csf v7.55:
