Reactivate iptables after installation?

Hello! The Installation Guide says to deactivate the firewall before installation of cpanel, however it doesn't specify if the firewall should or shouldn't be reactivated afterwards - or if cpanel takes care of this by itself. I assume it would be best to just deactivate it during the update/installation process - but I'm really not sure. Any thoughts? :)

  Hello :) You can start "iptables" again after the installation completes, however ideally you should use a firewall management utility such as CSF if you prefer to use a firewall and are not experienced with using custom iptables firewall rules. Thank you.
