# Testing flag - enables a CRON job that clears iptables incase of
# configuration problems when you start csf. This should be enabled until you
# are sure that the firewall works - i.e. incase you get locked out of your
# server! Then do remember to set it to 0 and restart csf when you're sure
# everything is OK. Stopping csf will remove the line from /etc/crontab
#
# lfd will not start while this is enabled
TESTING = "1"

# The interval for the crontab in minutes. Since this uses the system clock the
# CRON job will run at the interval past the hour and not from when you issue
# the start command. Therefore an interval of 5 minutes means the firewall
# will be cleared in 0-5 minutes from the firewall start
TESTING_INTERVAL = "5"

# SECURITY WARNING
# ================
#
# Unfortunately, syslog and rsyslog allow end-users to log messages to some
# system logs via the same unix socket that other local services use. This 
# means that any log line shown in these system logs that syslog or rsyslog
# maintain can be spoofed (they are exactly the same as real log lines).
#
# Since some of the features of lfd rely on such log lines, spoofed messages
# can cause false-positive matches which can lead to confusion at best, or
# blocking of any innocent IP address or making the server inaccessible at
# worst.
#
# Any option that relies on the log entries in the files listed in
# /etc/syslog.conf and /etc/rsyslog.conf should therefore be considered
# vulnerable to exploitation by end-users and scripts run by end-users.
#
# NOTE: Not all log files are affected as they may not use syslog/rsyslog
#
# The option RESTRICT_SYSLOG disables all these features that rely on affected
# logs. These options are:
# LF_SSHD LF_FTPD LF_IMAPD LF_POP3D LF_BIND LF_SUHOSIN LF_SSH_EMAIL_ALERT
# LF_SU_EMAIL_ALERT LF_CONSOLE_EMAIL_ALERT LF_DISTATTACK LF_DISTFTP
# LT_POP3D LT_IMAPD PS_INTERVAL UID_INTERVAL WEBMIN_LOG LF_WEBMIN_EMAIL_ALERT
# PORTKNOCKING_ALERT
#
# This list of options use the logs but are not disabled by RESTRICT_SYSLOG:
# ST_ENABLE SYSLOG_CHECK LOGSCANNER CUSTOM*_LOG
#
# The following options are still enabled by default on new installations so
# that, on balance, csf/lfd still provides expected levels of security:
# LF_SSHD LF_FTPD LF_POP3D LF_IMAPD LF_SSH_EMAIL_ALERT LF_SU_EMAIL_ALERT
#
# If you set RESTRICT_SYSLOG to "0" or "2" and enable any of the options listed
# above, it should be done with the knowledge that any of the those options
# that are enabled could be triggered by spoofed log lines and lead to the
# server being inaccessible in the worst case. If you do not want to take that
# risk you should set RESTRICT_SYSLOG to "1" and those features will not work
# but you will not be protected from the exploits that they normally help block
#
# The recommended setting for RESTRICT_SYSLOG is "3" to restrict who can access
# the syslog/rsyslog unix socket.
#
# For further advice on how to help mitigate these issues, see
# /etc/csf/readme.txt
#
# 0 = Allow those options listed above to be used and configured
# 1 = Disable all the options listed above and prevent them from being used
# 2 = Disable only alerts about this feature and do nothing else
# 3 = Restrict syslog/rsyslog access to RESTRICT_SYSLOG_GROUP ** RECOMMENDED **
RESTRICT_SYSLOG = "0"

# The following setting is used if RESTRICT_SYSLOG is set to 3. It restricts
# write access to the syslog/rsyslog unix socket(s). The group must not already
# exists in /etc/group before setting RESTRICT_SYSLOG to 3, so set the option
# to a unique name for the server
#
# You can add users to this group by changing /etc/csf/csf.syslogusers and then
# restarting lfd afterwards. This will create the system group and add the
# users from csf.syslogusers if they exist to that group and will change the
# permissions on the syslog/rsyslog unix socket(s). The socket(s) will be
# monitored and the permissions re-applied should syslog/rsyslog be restarted
#
# Using this option will prevent some legitimate logging, e.g. end-user cron
# job logs
#
# If you want to revert RESTRICT_SYSLOG to another option and disable this
# feature, change the setting of RESTRICT_SYSLOG and then restart lfd and then
# syslog/rsyslog and the unix sockets will be reset
RESTRICT_SYSLOG_GROUP = "mysyslog"

# This options restricts the ability to modify settings within this file from
# the csf UI. Should the parent control panel be compromised, these restricted
# options could be used to further compromise the server. For this reason we
# recommend leaving this option set to at least "1" and if any of the
# restricted items need to be changed, they are done so from the root shell
#
# 0 = Unrestricted UI
# 1 = Restricted UI
# 2 = Disabled UI
RESTRICT_UI = "1"

# Enabling auto updates creates a cron job called /etc/cron.d/csf_update which
# runs once per day to see if there is an update to csf+lfd and upgrades if
# available and restarts csf and lfd
#
# You should check for new version announcements at http://blog.configserver.com

# 1. MaxMind
#
# MaxMind GeoLite2 Country/City and ASN databases at:
# https://dev.MaxMind.com/geoip/geoip2/geolite2/
# This feature relies entirely on that service being available
#
# Advantages: This is a one stop shop for all of the databases required for
# these features. They provide a consistent dataset for blocking and reporting
# purposes
#
# Disadvantages: MaxMind require a license key to download their databases.
# This is free of charge, but requires the user to create an account on their
# website to generate the required key:
#
# WARNING: As of 2019-12-29, MaxMind REQUIRES you to create an account on their
# site and to generate a license key to use their databases. See:
# https://www.maxmind.com/en/geolite2/signup
# https://blog.maxmind.com/2019/12/18/significant-changes-to-accessing-and-using-geolite2-databases/

# 2. DB-IP, ipverse.net, iptoasn.com
#
# Advantages: The ipverse.net databases form CC blocking are better optimised
# and so are quicker to process and create fewer iptables entries. All of these
# databases are free to download without requiring login or key
#
# Disadvantages: Multiple sources mean that any one of the three could
# interrupt the provision of these features. It may also mean that there are
# inconsistences between them

#
# WARNING: These lists are never 100% accurate and some ISP's (e.g. AOL) use

# WARNING: Some of the CIDR lists are huge and each one requires a rule within

# As CloudFlare is a reverse proxy, any attacking IP addresses (so far as

# CloudFlare have provided a Firewall feature within the user account where
# rules can be added to block, challenge or whitelist IP addresses
#
# Using the CloudFlare API, this feature adds and removes attacking IPs from
