How do I know if this impacts me?  https://configserver.com/announcement/
I'm running WHM/CPanel 130.0.3.

Is this for the csf firewall? 
main(/temp): csf -v
csf: v14.24 (cPanel)

I do run modsecurity.  How do I know if I am impacted by this shutdown?

  If you use CSF, your affected.  Here is the main thread: https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/33828230135831-ConfigServer-closing-down-and-now-what

  Hi,

  https://support.cpanel.net/hc/en-us/community/posts/33828230135831-ConfigServer-closing-down-and-now-what

  For now you can use it without any worries

  Yes, we are working on releasing csf (ConfigServer Security & Firewall) under the GPLv3 license. If we do this, it will be before we close for business and the software will be made available via our GitHub repository.

  So now that CSF was released under the GPL at https://github.com/waytotheweb/scripts would this be kept alive in and by cPanel now?  I mean I'm getting:
  Subject: Cron <root@main> /usr/sbin/csf -u
  Oops: Unable to download: Can't connect to download.configserver.com:443 (Connection refused)
  
  Because they are shut down.  What is the game plan, does anyone know?

  I See https://configserver.com/ and their github account are now shutdown.

  Does anyone have anyway to get the uninstaller guides for MSFE etc?
