FTP Ban
| Posted by truevision, 06-03-2009, 05:25 PM |
| Im using the latest cPanel release. Using Pure-FTPD as the ftp server. I have CSF Firewall installed and configured and have also got http://deflate.medialayer.com/ installed. on the dos deflate software ive set the ban limit to 250 connections.
But what my problem is that while downloading on ftp clients with internet that can download very fast that it will ban them. Ive kinda realised that it is to do with the DDos software but im unsure what i should do. Increase the limit of connections but that would mean that more minor Ddos attacks might get through so that would affect more clients. Or leave the limit at 250 and let clients get blocked for 20 minutes.
Or alternatively is there a way i can stop people getting banned via FTP completly. As i dont see that option on the Ddos or csf.

| Here is a post you should read up on.

Additionally if you google "CSF and ddos deflate" you'll find a lot more posts on the issue. DDoS is more for APF. Running it with CSF is redundant and, imo, not recommended.

| You don't need anything besides CSF and LFD. CSF has the built-in functionality that DDoS Deflate provides, but better imo.
Modify your csf.conf and look at the following code:

| My opinion, just get rid of DDoS Deflate. It's overkill.
EDIT: Glad you got it figured out
