Hi all,
this thread is to add working REGEX that we can share with the community. To add them to this sticky, you should have the regex working in your server, this thread is not intended to solve any issues related with no working regex, the intention is to give users of CSF REGEXs that could make CSF with more security options.
If you want to collaborate, please add your rule to this thread...
If you have one particular IP address that is either dropped or accepted through the firewall that you think should not be, then you can use the new WATCH_MODE in csf.
Before enabling this option and using the CLI command to watch an IP address, check whether it is explicitly listed first using:
csf --grep 11.22.33.44
Where 11.22.33.44 is the IP address you're tracking. If that comes back...
If you get iptables errors when trying to start csf on a VPS then you most likely have missing iptables modules for your VPS.
If your hosting provider wants to know how to configure iptables correctly on a VPS server, then you should point them to this Parallels FAQ and have them follow it (plus to add ip_conntrack_ftp to the list of required modules):
It seems LFD outputs its blocked messages (eg. Firewall: *UDP_IN Blocked* IN=eth0... ) to the system journal with priority 4 (warning), even when it's just blocking incoming traffic based on port number. This makes them gold-coloured in my TTY, but more annoyingly it gets spammed out to my VPS's emergency console standard output, putting out lines every few seconds. Is there a way to get LFD to...
Temporary blocks that triggered the permanent block:

Hi there,
After the latest cpanel update to version 122.0.5 we have all of sudden been getting lfd email every hour as such:
Time: Mon Aug 26 16:07:26 2024 +0100
File: /tmp/.spamassassin3950SumxCatmp
Reason: Suspicious directory
Owner: nobody:nobody (99:99)
Action: No action taken
I get this email from my server:
Subject: Cron /usr/sbin/csf -u
Message: csf and lfd have been disabled, use 'csf -e' to enable
I logged in to WHM to enable again all connection become blocked, if I disable via SSH everything works fine.
I can't image what I have to do to work again, should I reinstall csf or how can I find the problem?
I did not changed anything for weeks, csf updated 5...
When CSF blocks an IP, it shows all the information of where and why including the country code. I'm not sure where CSF gets the country code information but why can't you simply block by the country code instead of huge lists of CIDR's? I am able to do this in Modesecurity but I would rather block for the entire server instead of just http.
We are trying to block all incoming IPs and only allow cloudflare IPs. We've whitelisted this in csf.allow we still wanted to check if from CSF side if we can block all other traffic.
I hope you are well. I now manage numerous servers running WHM; and I have lately begun integrating config server security and firewall and login failure daemon to improve the security of these systems. While I have some familiarity with server management; I am new to the more advanced configurations and optimizations that CSF and LFD provide. I am seeking out this informed...
I have a VPS with Almalinux8, Cpanel and CSF installed and with a 600Mpbs port. I started experiencing speed issues with FTP uploads (because it limited data upload) and so to check the speeds from the server, I installed speedtest cli.
On a machine with CSF (although on others the problem has appeared after writing this ticket)
It has been installed and running for years.
The settings are very restrictive. Only port of entry 53 is open, the rest are not.
Access is only allowed to my ips. One of them dynamic, added to csf.dyndns
Today I couldn't get in. So I logged into the server via KVM (it's a proxmox)
In order to sort (some) compatibility with Docker and CSF we are working on an approach to allow docker to handle its iptables adding a chain on prerouting added in csfpost.sh
The problem is that for this to work we need to store all docker generated chains on each csf restart and reload them in csfpost.sh
For my surprise, csfpre.sh is not executed first on that process. CSF first clears all...
Hi, we do not see any CSF email alerts in the exim_mainlog, and we aren't receiving any either. The server is also running cPanel and WHM. We have taken the following steps to check that everything is set:
Testing = 0 in the configuration
LF_ALERT_TO AND X_ARF_TO are set to the correct email
Alerts are turned on in the configuration
LF_EMAIL_ALERT is set to 1 or true
/etc/aliases root is...
