Installing and Configuring CSF Firewall This article demonstrates how to install and configure the CSF (configserver) firewall. CSF can be used on a wide range of Linux systems, including those running cPanel. rm -fv csf.tgz wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz tar zxf csf.tgz cd csf sh install.sh If you have APF + BFD you will need to disable it, you can use the following to do so: sh disable_apf_bfd.sh To configure CSF modify the config files in /etc/csf/ – or if you are running WHM you can modify the CSF settings in there.
