Guide to Using ConfigServer Security & Firewall (csf) on linux as a firewall

Here's a simple tutorial on installing and setting up CSF.

Instalation:


1. wget http://download.configserver.com/csf.tgz
2. tar -xzf csf.tgz
3. cd csf
4. sh install.sh


Basic Configuration:


1. settings can be seen here nano /etc/csf/csf.conf

2. to restart please use the command: csf -r


Blokir port:


1. open the nano settings page /etc/csf/csf.conf

2. look for the words TCP_IN, TCP_OUT etc...

TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,143,443,465,587,993,995"

TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,113,443"

UDP_IN = "20,21,53"

UDP_OUT = "20,21,53,113,123"
from the writing above it can be interpreted that we only allow the port written above.



There are many other advantages such as:1. ICMP_IN yg berguna untuk on/off ping suatu ip address.
2. blokir ip address nano /etc/csf/csf.deny
3. allow ip address nano /etc/csf/csf.allow
4. ignore ip address nano /etc/csf/csf.ignore
5. limit loggin attempts (if exceeding the limit will be blocked ip)

6. block certain countries based on their ip address. use CC_DENY parameter

7. and many others
