How to whitelist an IP address in CSF from the command line

Introduction

IP addresses can be whitelisted in CSF through the WHM plugin or the command line. This article provides the procedure to whitelist an IP address from the command line.

Please note that CSF isn't provided or installed by cPanel. CSF is developed and supported by ConfigServer.

Procedure

1. Access the command line as the 'root' user via SSH or "Terminal" in WHM.
2. Use the csf command with the -a switch and the IP address to whitelist.
   

   csf -a ipaddress

   Please note "ipaddress" should be replaced with the IP address to whitelist.
