CSF Firewall

[rlshosting]

Would it be possible to add compatibility to this?

Thanks a million.

What do you mean "compatibility to CSF Firewall"?
Exclude from LFD?

[rlshosting]

I said on the configserver forums:

Is this plugin compatible with it? I see no IPs blocked on my server.

Then I said:

Nevermind. I see emails but no IPs in csf.deny.

Then the admin said:

No, there are no regex's to monitor that applications logs. You would have to write your own using regex.custom.pm

[mistwang]

Yes, CSF need to be configured to parse error log file for detected IP attacking the server.
We will leave it for CSF developer or someone familiar with their regex setup.

[rlshosting]

Any other firewalls you recommend that may work better with lite speed? APF maybe or does it work fine without any other firewall and just iptables?

[mistwang]

We recommend using fail2ban in this regard.

[khatfield]

So you're saying there is a log that can be parsed to block IP's via the local server firewalls?

[mistwang]

Yes, LSWS or LSLB log attacking IP addresses to main error log.

At last look LSWS writes out the 'mod_security' records slightly differently than actual mod_security. This causes CSF to not parse/pick up the LSWS mod_security log records. I can post more details if necessary.

Please check the latest 4.0.12 release, if anything still prevent CSF from pickup it, we will fix.
