You may also download other free scripts if you are using it.
I am pretty much sure that someone will put these scripts in Github and develop further. Their firewall scripts has been on my server since about 15 years. They work like charm and have proved to be very efficient on my multiple servers.
While there is a basic script integrated inside hestia that works with iptables, it is too basic for use on production servers. Under no circumstances it can match multiple functionality the CSF firewall offers.
So even after they shutdown their website and company and stop offering downloads, it is still an extremely valuable software for defending hundreds of thousands of attacks by scammers.
Please read the change of license here, which is not yet finalized:
So if they release their scripts under the GPLv3, it would be very nice if this could be tightly integrated into hestia core, like a plugin displaying their webpagewithin a frame or something like that. Then there could be configuration possibilities within the Hestia Panel, some basics. It could populate all the default directories, logs etc. that Hestia.conf knows and manages.
We currently do not have any plans to integrate csf into hestia. The current iptables & iplist stack should cover the most use cases.
Of course we do not say “no”, if someone want to integrate it or even replace the current stack. But this will need a lot of work, including migration from existing rules and ip lists to csf. All over all; not on our road map.
