[How-to] CSF Support in Hestia CP

Hi @Eduardo - please check my previous post why I do prefer the CSF over stock firewall.

[How-to] CSF Support in Hestia CP

CSF is actually a firewall which includes a brute force protection daemon, very similar to fail2ban. It’s up to you whether you stick with firewallD & fail2ban or switch to CSF. I personally prefer CSF over fail2ban due to multiple reasons: Complexity Web GUI + Hestia (Vesta) integration Can be used in conjunction with fail2ban (if needed) as a complement

Anyway, @Lupu and others did a very great job with implementing some of the CSF features, such as the ipset blocking to the Hestia CP while preserving the simplicity of stock firewall.

Thanks and take care!
