How to install CSF on DirectAdmin - CentOS 7.x

gznikolas

The following is only for DirectAdmin and CentOS 7.x (haven't tested on CentOS 6.x or 8.x yet)
You can install CSF (Config Server Firewall) the very well known from cPanel servers on your DirectAdmin Server also!

The steps are quite easy since DA made this possible!

wget http://files.directadmin.com/services/all/csf/csf_install.sh
/bin/sh ./csf_install.sh

That's all... your CSF is already installed! You may proceed and configure your firewall now!

When you try to update CSF you might face the following error:

LWP:: Protocol::https not installed (How to install?)

If you are on CentOS the solution is quite easy, just yum install the perl module using the following command:

yum install perl-LWP-Protocol-https
