I am trying to use CT_LIMIT to block IPs connecting to my jetty server on port 8443, the connection from specific IP keep in CLOSE_WAIT status and keep opening new connections in CLOSE_WAIT, I configured CT_LIMIT=30, on port 8443 but CSF did not catch this IP and block it,
CSF test script shows Testing xt_connlimit...OK,
how can I figure why CT LIMIT is not working and how to configure it...

I am a very happy user of csf for many years on dedicated and VPS systems.
I have recently setup a dedicated server within my own network and installed csf successfully.

Problem is when I receive emails about logins or check any of the logs, it is only ever reporting the gateway internal IP address.
Scenario:
From a different physical location, using an internet connection not related to my own...

Our CSF don't block udp ddos attacks.
OS: Debian10 buster.
Last version CSF has been installed.

On our old servers we only every got a daily csx email if there was something to be alerted about. On our new server we get an email everyday even if there are no issues - a blank /empty email with just the command at the top.

I'm trying to come up with a solution to get a developer that has a dynamic IP through the firewall whenever he tries to access the server. I thought I could give him access to the web UI so he could add his IP whenever it changes but that requires his IP to get access in the first place. Is there some other solution?

This option can mask a users real IP address and hinder security. You should disable WHM > Tweak Settings > Proxy subdomains

This option in WHM doesn't seem to exist anymore or has since been renamed because I'm not able to find it. Very few results for proxy with none of them to do with what I'm actually looking for.

Any ideas?

Hello,

Since csf/lfd is very important for my server security, I would like with a monitoring script to ensure that csf and lfd are both running and operational. Is there a recommended way to do this ? I am running CentOS 7.
I am thinking about:
- either parsing the output of command systemctl status csf lfd and detect that they are active, and also running for lfd.
- either parsing the output...

Did this get resolved? Did they issue an update or did you find a fix yourself?
