    Hi,

    I have a server that host shared accounts of about 200-300 domains

    The only tweak I did so far was:
    CT_LIMIT = 50
    CT_PORTS = 80

    Can anyone share with me your CSF Configuration or recommend me your best settings..

    Thanks

    Hello,

    I will suggest you to increase your CT_LIMIT configuration to 100 and also add port 443 in CT_PORTS

    Hello :)

    The following document may be useful to you if you are looking to determine which ports are used by cPanel/WHM:

    Getting the most out of your system's firewall

    Note that while we have several CSF users here, you may find more in-depth configuration discussion on ConfigServer's forum.

    Thank you.

    Hi,

    I suggest the following setting so you will not face the problem of banning the IPs of valid/organic traffic/clients to your servers and websites.

    CT_LIMIT = 400. it means any IP making more then 400 are not normal and should be ban
    CT_PORTS = 80. i suggest leave this section BLANK against all ports in your server. so it will detect all ports. not only 80 and 443.
