Good day and let me first apologize if I am posting in the wrong area.

I receive 70-80 alerts from lfd..is there a way to shorten the list?

First of all, I'd like to say I am most impressed with the work done on CSF, it's leaps and bounds ahead of manually editing iptables at the command prompt. Especially for someone who isn't very strong in linux. With that said..

We have a new server build of Ubuntu 10 LTS, which originally came with a DirectAdmin control panel. DA had huge issues in getting along with Webmin, so the ISP rebuilt...

As the title says, we have CSF running and successfully blocking IPs from .htaccess based login failures. We are running nginx, but we have updated the log file locations to our nginx logs and CSF is working great. IPs are auto added to csf.deny after several failed login attempts.

Our problem arises in that users can still load up the website even after their IP has been blocked. They are...

I keep noticing that the iptables service isnt running - it seems like since I installed CSF - just from a timeline perspective. Is there something I might have done wrong to cause this?

Thanks

Csf function connection limit per ip is not working and conflict with nginx. Kindly help me...

Hi!

I found for make a graph with fail2ban stats. Works fine

Now, I addapt this for CSF, so, I am sharing with you

Hi,

is there a way to ban users who are trying to bruteforce drupal / wordpress or other cms installations. For fail2ban you have options but does csf has options to counter this?

Hello,
i added following lines in /etc/csf/csf.pignore:

exe:/usr/local/lsws/fcgi-bin/lsphp-5.4.34

and restarted csf but i still receive email like this:

I just installed this firewall
Its awesome
I have a VPS
I have several websites each with its own IP on this server
Does one installation cover my entire VPS or do I have to enable shell and install on each domain?

hi,
i was able to limit concurrent connection per IP.
but this might cause problem and effect good traffic.

the problem i am facing is, when a client is requesting a page through GET, it's served from the cache, there is no PHP code involved. so i don't care even if i am even brute forced with this method.
but if the same page is requested with POST (regardless good or bad traffic), it's always...

My 15 days old server receiving port scanning attack almost every hour. I configured CSF and its doing great job in blocking those port scanning attack and sending me an alert email with the details.

Wondering if there is a way I can completely disable the port scanning feature on my dedicated server with help of csf......?

Below are few sample of blocked alerts

I've mostly gotten rid of excessive resource usage alerts by adding to csf.pignore. However, there are two processes left that I can't nail down: /usr/sbin/nginx and /usr/sbin/mysqld

I have exe:/usr/sbin/nginx and exe:/usr/sbin/mysqld lines in csf.pignore and csf has been restarted, but I'm still receiving alert emails about process time and suspicious processes.

Can anyone explain why ignoring...

Can anyone help me determine what causes a process called lfd - (child) Statistic to be spawned? We had a server go into high load today and there were over 800 of these processes. I'm not seeing anything obvious in the logs so I'd like more to go on. What causes the lfd - (child) Statistic process?

Thanks in advance,
Bob

I have the latest version of CSF and Everyone that trys to login to their cpanel is blocked until I put their IP in allowed list.
I have went over the settings and can't find out why.
I have checked everyone's IP and they are not on anyone's list.

I have install csf in my DIrectadmin server. It shows only few option in csf panel. How I can get all options as normal csf installation. Please find the screen short of my panel.

Just (21:24 on Jan 1st 2015) had a warning that both CSF and LFD have failed the MD5 comparison.

I looked in /usr/sbin/lfd and noted that the copyright statement at the top mentions 2015 - is this an automatic copyright update causing the file change?

I also see this command in the file which concerns me:

umask(0177);

Should I chill out? Or fret?

Thank you!

Hi there,

We are trying to SCP a large file from one of our servers, however CSF appears to be killing the SCP process after around 55 minutes.

In /var/log/lfd.log we see the following messages:

Hi,

I changed the email address I use for ALL cPanel and CSF notifications to a different one, but CSF is still sending to the old address - anyone seen this or know how to get it to send to the right one?

Hi all,

I have CSF (7.57) running on a fresh Ubuntu Server 14.04 install. It's working fine, except that the Webmin module only loads up to the upgrade section, and then does nothing (it doesn't even try to actually check for an upgrade). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling to no avail. Any advice?
