Useful CSF SSH Command Line Commands

Useful CSF SSH Command Line Commands (CSF Cheat Sheet)

This article covers some useful ConfigServer Firewall (CSF) SSH command line commands in a “cheat sheet” format.

Command Description Example
csf -e Enable CSF root@server[~]#csf -e
csf -x Disable CSF root@server[~]#csf -x
csf -s Start the firewall rules root@server[~]#csf -s
csf -f Flush/Stop firewall rules (note: lfd may restart csf)
root@server[~]#csf -f
csf -r Restart the firewall rules root@server[~]#csf -r
csf -a [IP.add.re.ss] [Optional comment] Allow an IP and add to /etc/csf/csf.allow
root@server[~]#csf -a 187.33.3.3 Home IP Address
csf -td [IP.add.re.ss] [Optional comment] Place an IP on the temporary deny list in /var/lib/csf/csf.tempban root@server[~]#csf -td 55.55.55.55 Odd traffic patterns
csf -tr [IP.add.re.ss] Remove an IP from the temporary IP ban or allow list.
root@server[~]#csf -tr 66.192.23.1
csf -tf Flush all IPs from the temporary IP entries
root@server[~]#csf -tf
csf -d [IP.add.re.ss] [Optional comment] Deny an IP and add to /etc/csf/csf.deny root@server[~]#csf -d 66.192.23.1 Blocked This Guy
csf -dr [IP.add.re.ss] Unblock an IP and remove from /etc/csf/csf.deny root@server[~]#csf -dr 66.192.23.1
csf -df Remove and unblock all entries in /etc/csf/csf.deny root@server[~]#csf -df
csf -g [IP.add.re.ss] Search the iptables and ip6tables rules for a match (e.g. IP, CIDR, Port Number) root@server[~]#csf -g 66.192.23.1
csf -t  Displays the current list of temporary allow and deny IP entries with their TTL and comments  root@server[~]#csf -t

Whitelisting an IP Address

In order to prevent specific IP from being blocked, even for a temporary deny, you need to list their IP address in the files csf.ignore and csf.allow. The first step is to enable IGNORE_ALLOW in csf.conf. The value for IGNORE_ALLOW will appear as “0”, you will need to adjust it to “1” and restart csf and lfd.

This will allow lfd to reference csf.ignore. If you add an IP address to csf.ignore, the IP address will no longer be checked by lfd and failed login attempts will not trigger temporary denies.

CyberPanel vs CyberPanel Ent

CyberPanel is 100% identical in both versions. The only difference is which web server is running in the back-end.

  1. CyberPanel comes with OpenLiteSpeed and is completely free for an unlimited number of domains and worker processes.
  2. CyberPanel Ent comes with LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise and it is free for 1 domain. If you need more than 1 domain, you can view our pricing page 1.5k. The CyberPanel license includes the price of your LiteSpeed Enterprise license.

To learn more about the differences between OpenLiteSpeed and LiteSpeed Web Server Enterprise, please see this comprehensive comparison 434.


Installing CyberPanel

Step 1: Connect to your server via SSH

The installation of CyberPanel is quite simple. First, log into your server via SSH as the root user (sudo will not work). You can get the login details from your web host.

Step 2: Update packages

For Ubuntu: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
For CentOS/Alma/Rocky:

sudo yum check-update
sudo yum update

Step 2: Run the installation script

Run the following command. It will initiate the automated installation script, which will prompt you for a few decisions about which version of LiteSpeed and which add-ons you would like to install.

sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)

If, for some reason, you are not able to log in as root, you can use this command

sudo su - -c "sh <(curl https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh || wget -O - https://cyberpanel.net/install.sh)"

Step 3: Select the version of LiteSpeed that you would like to use

Select which version of LiteSpeed to install. If you select LiteSpeed Enterprise, please ensure that you have obtained a license key first. It is free for 1 domain, but you still need to obtain the key. Visit the pricing table 1.5k to decide your desired plan.
