Unable to install CSF Firewall
I have VPS server on Godaddy with Cent OS 5.9 virtuozzo and are 50 websites hosted there. Currently I faced lots of BrutForce attacks from different countries. Also they, hackers, entered into WHM and changed different settings even though I am continually changing my password.
To protect from these attacks I have tried so many times to install CSF firewall but I am facing following issue with installation.
After CSF installation when I am running csftest.pl script, it give me these errors..
I thought that some modules of iptables are missing. So I tried this command to activate all modules
but for all modules it showing
Then I noticed that, in containers I can activate modules by editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config this file in this article
Testing ip_tables/iptable_filter...OK
Testing ipt_LOG...OK
Testing ipt_multiport/xt_multiport...OK
Testing ipt_REJECT...OK
Testing ipt_state/xt_state...FAILED [FATAL Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for csf to function
Testing ipt_limit/xt_limit...OK
Testing ipt_recent...OK
Testing xt_connlimit...FAILED [Error: iptables: No chain/target/match by that name.] - Required for CONNLIMIT feature
Testing ipt_owner/xt_owner...OK

Testing iptable_nat/ipt_DNAT...FAILED [Error: FATAL: Module ip_tables not found.] - Required for csf.redirect feature
RESULT: csf will not function on this server due to FATAL errors from missing modules [1]I thought that some modules of iptables are missing. So I tried this command to activate all modules
modprobe iptables_modulebut for all modules it showing
FATAL: Module iptables_module not found.Then I noticed that, in containers I can activate modules by editing /etc/sysconfig/iptables-config this file in this article

So sorry for that.. I have mistakenly typed incorrect version of Cent OS. Its Cent OS 6.9, not 5.9 Is there any available option for 6.9 to install firewall ? 0 -
Hello @Amol Kute, Unfortunately, this isn't an issue you will be able to address without access to the VPS hardware node, even with CentOS 6. The issue relates to the lack of certain kernel modules installed on the VPS hardware node itself. Thus, only your VPS hosting provider will be able to solve the issue (either by installing the kernel modules or migrating your VPS to another hardware node). Thank you. 0
