In recent updates, cPanel has modified some of the notification settings for their control panel.

CSF (or Config Server Firewall) offers several advantages over the APF (Advanced Policy Firewall), including more robust protection against Denial of Service, SYN flood and other common attacks.

Should you discover (or suspect) that a client or customer’s IP address has been blocked in the firewall, or you just need to open (or close) a port on your cPanel server, you may be able to quickly resolve the issue yourself if you have access to WebHost Manager and the ConfigServer Firewall (CSF).
