CSF CyberPanel

ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) is a firewall application on the server to keep it secure. It offers an advanced and user-friendly web-based interface for managing firewall settings. The Secure Shell also allows us to manage the firewall settings and configuration.

CyberPanel is an OpenLitespeed-powered open-source hosting control panel. It has a basic firewall management interface but lacks the complex functionality of Way to the Web Ltd’s CSF (ConfigServer Security & Firewall). Fortunately, combining the two is simple.

How to Install CSF on CyberPanel?

Follow the steps given below to manage the installation of the CSF on CyberPanel:

  • To begin, use ssh to connect to the server where CyberPanel is installed, either as root or sudo su.
  • Following that, we must install a few packages required by CSF:

    [root@server] yum -y install perl-libwww-perl nano bind-utils unzip

  • We can now start the CSF installation:

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

  • After that, we can use the nano to configure the system to install the CSF to CyberPanel:

    [root@server] nano /etc/csf/csf.conf

    ctrl + o to save, and ctrl + x to exit

  • We can have a static IP address by adding it to /etc/csf/csf.allow.
  • To make the modifications take effect, restart the firewall:

    [root@server] csf -r

  • Once we are done with the installation of the CSF in CyberPanel, we have to ensure to change the firewall to ‘TESTING = “0”‘ and restart it to validate.
  • We can now see that the built-in firewall in CyberPanel has been disabled automatically with a STATUS OFF sign.

Finally, after his action, the server will have additional CSF protection.
