My servers main IP is say 204.11.xx.xxx. When I run ifconfig I have a bunch other IPs I've allocated to my server such as 204.11.xx.xxx,204.11.xx.xxx, 204.11.xx.xxx, etc. I don't use these IPs. should I block them with csf? how? I don't want to block anything incoming to my main IP of 204.11.xx.xxx. can I block these other IPs? ifconfig example: eno16780032:cp1: flags=4163 mtu 1500 inet 204.15.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 204.15.xxx.xxx ether 00:0c:29:3e:25:a1 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) eno16780032:cp2: flags=4163 mtu 1500 inet 204.15.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.255.255 broadcast 204.15.xxx.xxx ether 00:0c:29:3e:25:a1 txqueuelen 1000 (Ethernet) ...

  Just turn them off /remove them add them back when you do use them =========================== if you want to keep them at least configured move them from cpanel's ip alias to /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts as alias's and set onboot to no

  Hello, The information in the previous post is solid advice. Note that CSF discussions are better suited for their own support forums at: General Discussion (csf) - ConfigServer Community Forum Thank you.
