Title: Continued CWP support with new CSF fork
Post by: Starburst on December 16, 2025, 11:39:59 PM

A developer named Aetherinox has forked CSF, and is actively supporting it, along with updates for CWP.

Please see the following KB, if you would like to update to this new fork and version:

https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/ (https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/)

If you can, please support him also. ;)

Thanks for the tip. That did look like the fork to watch early on. If it's active and alive, that's great.

Interesting, on a clean installation it shows 15.08 as the current up-to-date version. That's using the "Stable" channel, not the "Insiders Channel." Also, it shows:

Code: [Select]

License: InvalidWhere your csf -v example shows

Code: [Select]

License: None

Yea, that's a fix in 15.09

Developer though the wording 'Invalid' didn't sound right.

Same thing, I might suggest changing it to Free & Paid.

Feedback is welcome.
You also can reach the developer directly via his discord channel. :)

But if you notice, on the left side that some users complained was empty has been fixed also. :)

This version/fork also works on cPanel also, but don't tell anyone.  :-X
