CSF Blocklists

CSF/LFD supports downloading and applying blocklists of IPs and CIDRs from public sources.

OpenPanel does not enable any IP blocklists by default upon installation.

from OpenAdmin

To enable a blocklist from OpenAdmin interface, navigate to Security > Firewall then scroll down and click on the 'LFD Blocklists':

Uncomment the line that starts with the desired blocklist, by removing the # before it, then click on 'Change':

Finally click on 'Restart csf+lfd':

from Terminal

To enable a specific blocklist:

Open file /etc/csf/csf.blocklists
Uncomment the line that starts with the desired blocklist.
Save the file.
Restart CSF, then restart LFD: csf -ra && serfice lfd restart
