Config Server Firewall (CSF) is a Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall, Login/Intrusion Detection and Security application for Linux servers.
It's is a security tool that can protect your server against attacks, such as brute force, and improve server security.

This application will work as a WHM plugin and is free. Follow these instructions to complete a basic CSF installation:

1. Install CSF: Log into your server as root, using SSH.
   
   

   cd /usr/local/src/
   wget https://download.configserver.com/csf.tgz
   tar -xzf csf.tgz
   cd csf 
   sh install.sh

   You will see "Installation Completed".

   cd ..
   rm -Rfv csf/ csf.tgz

   
   
2. Configure CSF:  Login to your server via WHM as root  and go to the bottom left menu. In the Plugins section, go to ConfigServer Security Firewall.
   
   
   
   Then, in the "csf - ConfigServer Firewall" section (on the right panel), click on "Firewall Configuration".
   

# Port filtering configuration - IPv4 Port Settings #

The following ports are opened by default:

TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995,2077,2078,2082,2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,26"

TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,37,43,53,80,110,113,443,587,873,2086,2087,2089,2703"

UDP_IN 20,21,53

UDP_OUT 20,21,53,113,123,873,6277

If you have changed your SSH port number, you need to add this new port on the "IPv4 Port Settings" and/or "IPv6 Port Settings".
You can also use this section to add a specific port for an new application installed on the server.

If you are using R1soft/Idera external backup solution, you need to allow inbound traffic for TCP port 1167 in the port TCP_IN section.
