Firewall Disabled (CSF cannot be started suddenly)

I checked again and i can verify that the CWP script that updates CSF failed hard and broke the firewall. It's just so stupid that none of the CWP staff members don't even bother assisting about it..

Unfortunately, we also had the experience that the CSF kept smeared, we uninstalled it and then reinstalled it until the next crash. There is nothing in the logs and it is also not understandable why it keeps smeared. My guess is, if oniguruma is installed on centos8, there will be a memory overflow, but we are still testing it. It would therefore make sense to include more precise system and config information here!

I am facing this issue on Centos 7. There is literally nothing in the log files as you also mentioned. But, from the last CSF update, there are some errors in the update log and i assume it's some permissions related issue, but i am not that advanced to tell for sure.
