CSF Is Closing Down!

[Skhilled]

I just found out about this a little while ago. Les and I have use it for 15+ years...and without any problems. Here's the announcement:

https://configserver.com/configserver-security-and-firewall/

Here's a migration guide someone wrote to help:

https://github.com/centminmod/configserver-scripts/blob/main/README-gpl-csf.md

Here's something else posted at cPanel on how to disable auto-running updates. You can also read the rest of the thread, if needed:

https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/33828230135831/comments/34558088486807

And someone has gone the extra mile and forked it and will keep it updated:

I haven't used CSF in years since I switched from cPanel to Plesk years ago. Plesk has its own firewall and uses fail2ban for IP banning.

I use it on this server, I think cpanel might also do something with the scripts

Yes, I saw that too. Decisions, decisions...

I'll keep an eye out on what is happening.
I've update to version 15, the auto update has stopped so if someone hijacks the old domain I won't be downloading malware on the server.

It's sad because Lesmond and I have played with almost every firewall at one time or another testing them on servers. And, I have always thought that was the best one!
