Been having some issues with CSF causing high ping and timeouts, decided to reinstall ipset but now I am faced with this error message. What is the fix? What does csf need to run [root@cpanel1 log]# yum remove ipset This system is receiving updates from CloudLinux Network server.

  Hey there! cPanel doesn't provide or distribute the CSF tool, so if that isn't working how you expect you may want to reach out to their forums here for more details:

  I'd suggest that you uninstall and reinstall CSF.

  Hello, I just had this issue today on an install of Alma Linux 8 and cPanel DNSONLY - Turns out I simply need to install the IPTables. The error was because they were not in existence. Simply ran yum install iptables >> then >> csf -x (to stop the csf and lfd >> then >> csf -e to restart those two - Life was fine after that. Not sure if this is your issue but it got rid of the error for me.
