Config Backup/restore

In the new year, i'll potentially be migrating to a new server.
Is there a backup/restore feature in CSF so I can migrate my config over.
Or a cfg file buried away somewhere ?

I'll also need the same for mail scanner.

Re: FTP attemps even though port is not open

From my trusted IP, if I try to connect to ftp via port xxx (some random made up number),, my ftp client just times out.
But I havn't tried from a non trusted IP.
This is something I'd have to do from home, i just keep forgetting.

Re: FTP attemps even though port is not open

I like the analogy, and its very similar to the one I used when I was explaining to my colleague. However, using the same analogy. If the door is closed, locked and moved to the side of the house. I wouldn't hear him knocking, in fact he'd have nothing to knock on. In my case, the port is closed, th...

Re: FTP attemps even though port is not open

Being naive, but I thought if the ports were not listed in "Allow incoming TCP ports", I assumed therfor they are cosed ? If the port is closed, then the ftp client shouldn't even get to the login prompt, should it ??? If the port isn't open, the client ought to have failed to connect, but...

FTP attemps even though port is not open

I've had a number of failed FTP login attempts over night, but port 21 is not included in "Allow incoming TCP ports" Niether is my secret sftp port number. I'm at a loss how these login attempts managed to get through CSF. (ftpd) Failed FTP login from 119.xx.xx.xxx (CN/China/Jilin/-/194.xx...

Feature Request

Under MSFE-Front End >> Bulk Actions. Would it be possible to add a bulk action to add the offending IP addresses to CSF Firewall blocklist. At the moment, you have to enter inside each message and choose block from within, which is time consuming. It would be nice to highlight them in bulk and bloc...

Re: RBL check timeout

Now I understand.

I have this configured on my server, but don't see the errors you mention in any logs.
However, if I try to connect to either of those servers from my local PC, they timeout.

Re: RBL check timeout

Where do you see the config for these.
I don't see these in my config.

I get server timeout when trying to navigate to www.rbl.jp.
