One of the most important things you can do to your web server, is adding security to it in order to keep someone from hijacking it. Allot of us have learned this the hard way, having our web servers hacked opened our eyes to the requirement, that secuirty is very important.

One of the most important things in the security of your web server, is a firewall. Software firewalls are in most cases the best solution, as they are both cheap/free and a great defense against unwanted people and traffic. Most linux distros already have a firewall built into the OS, but using the commandline each time you need to make changes is always a hassle and not very user-friendly.

I have great news! There is a free firewall solution that can be easily installed to your linux CPanel/WHM web server and it is the best one out there.

I am speaking of ConfigServer’s “CSF” (http://www.configserver.com/cp/csf.html)

CSF is everything you could want in a gui front-end that directly incorporates into your WHM control panel. Out of all the solutions I have used through the years, this is by far the best one out there. It is extremely easy to use, it incorporates many other modules for extra security and best of all, its FREE!

So why wait, secure your CPanel web server today with the best software firwall.
