CSF/IPtable with rebooting server

BoostN · Mar 3, 2015

I'm preparing for my linode to be rebooted (Linode windows for critical patching).

I know IP Tables will be erased once a server is rebooted, how does that process work with CSF enabled? Do I still need to output the rules to a file as outlined in the Linode guide?: Securing Your Server - Linode Guides & Tutorials

Create a file to hold your firewall rules by entering the following command:

1
sudo nano /etc/iptables.firewall.rules
Click to expand...

no need to do anything, CSF Firewall survives reboots fully intact

Great feature!
Also, when I print my IPTable rules, I have MANY.. is this normal? Is this something that CSF does?

If so, then I would be covered by CSF auto saving the rules for me and not need to worry about IPTables.

CSF Firewall is a wrapper script that interfaces with IPTables.. so you don't need to touch IPTables at all as CSF FIrewall manages it

As yes CSF has alot of rules set as well as the LFD - log in failure daemon CSF Firewall - Centmin Mod - Menu based Nginx installer for CentOS servers
