Hello,
Many people are using CSF for a firewall. Check it out:
ConfigServer Security & Firewall

Installation is a snap (C&P):

wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
sh install.sh

Once you install CSF, you will find it listed under WHM -> Plugins -> ConfigServer Security&Firewall

You will be able to manage it from there.

Remember to check the settings in your firewall config file. It does most of it automatically but some tweaking is usually required.

You can run the command through SSH. If you have an root access to your server then you can get through SSH and run the wget command.

when i goto into whm i cant see any ssh access . only get it through a cpanel user which then means its not the main root ?

i have ssh root access but dont seem to be able to find in whm to access

You will need to install putty (command line) and need to configure on your machine and through putty you can get the SSH access.

To install firewall on your server basically 1st you need to logged into shell with the root login details....once you logged into shell as root user then run the following command one by one..

wget http://www.configserver.com/free/csf.tgz
tar -xzf csf.tgz
cd csf
sh install.sh

once you installed csf you can configure it as per your requirement from your WHM >> Plugins >> ConfigServer Security&Firewall


Note : For shell access you need to install putty software on your local machine
