How to white-list an IP in ConfigServer security & Firewall (CSF)

ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) allows you to manage your iptables configuration. CSF is a simplified interface that makes it easy to add or remove IP addresses from your firewall.

To Whitelist an IP address you must log into your WHM interface with your credentials.

Once you have logged in this will return you to the main page of your WHM on the left hand side menu search for CSF and click ˜ConfigServer Security & Firewall". This will open the web interface for configuring ˜ConfigServer Security & Firewall" (CSF).

Once you have reached this page go to Quick Allow and type in the IP address that is blocked then Left Click the Quick Allow Button:

Most of the options are explained, but to configure a firewall, there are three options that are most important : Quick Allow, Quick Deny, and Quick Ignore. Simply enter the IP address into the coloured box, and left click the ˜Quick Allow", ˜Quick Deny" or ˜Quick Ignore".

Once this is completed this will allow this IP address to both access your server and websites located on the server.
