Hello,

The following are the recommended steps to install and configure the csf in Ubuntu.

Step-1: Update the System

First, update your system with the latest stable version by using following command.

$ sudo apt-get update -y

Step-2: Install the csf

By default, Ubuntu comes with UFW firewall, so you will need to disable it first.
You can disable UFW with the following command:

$ sudo ufw disable

Now, you will need to download the csf repository from the Config server's website.

$ sudo wget http://download.configserver.com/csf.tgz

Next, Uncompressed the downloaded file.

$ sudo tar -xvzf csf.tgz

Now, change the directory to CSF and run the following script to install CSF:

$ sudo cd csf
$ sudo sh install.sh

Once csf is installed, you can verify whether all of the required firewall modules are available or not by using following command.

$ sudo perl /usr/local/csf/bin/csftest.pl

Regards,
