[How-to] CSF Support in Hestia CP

Community Support
21

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:

  1. Complexity
  2. Web GUI + Hestia (Vesta) integration
  3. Can be used in conjunction with fail2ban (if needed) as a complement
