I see poert scan errors daily, when these originate from a foreign country, i tend not to be too concerned, as CSF blocked them. But when these are from the UK, i often wonder if a legitimate customer could have been blocked. Could a normal web session cause these errors ? *Port Scan* detected from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (GB/United Kingdom/Gloucestershire/Gloucester/serverxxx-xxx-xxx-xxx.live-servers.net). 6 hits in the last 55 seconds - *Blocked in csf* for 86400 secs [PS_LIMIT]

  Hello, I have seen reports in the past where it's been hit by legitimate users: *Port Scan* detected *Blocked in csf* for 3600 secs [PS_LIMIT] - ConfigServer Community Forum You may also find this third-party URL helpful for more information on how this CSF option works: CSF *Port Scan* detected - shared hosting You could search additional log files on your system (e.g. /usr/local/cpanel/logs/access_log) for the specific IP address to see if it's accessed other services in the past. Thank you.
