Why Csf Firewall is notifying me by this warrning

Firewall Status: Enabled but in Test Mode – Don’t forget to disable TESTING in the Firewall Configuration

Dont become worry, it is just saying that your firewall is in test mode and is not active.This is because by default after you installed CSf, its status is in testing mode , not to provide any confiusion in the system so that after you tested that every thing were fine by havind csf in test mode  you can change its status to the active mode to Defend your server against Attacks.

How to Enable CSF Firewall in active mode and getting reed of Test Mode

Login to WHM ad goto the plugin and select

ConfigServer Security&Firewall

then go to the Firewall Configuration

on the very first item you could be able to see “TESTING =” that is by default assigned 1 value to it

just you need to change its value to 0 so that testing mode will be disabled and its status will be changed into active mode

after that restart CSF firewall for the changes take effect and now you are done

Thanks
