CSF Firewall / Re: CSF Auto Update Re-Enabled v14.24 and v15.00

« Last post by Starburst on February 24, 2026, 09:50:52 PM »

No the mirrors is no longer active as there are different upgrades available.

We have been working with Aetherinox fork.

You can see how to upgrade to this fork at:
https://starburst.help/control-web-panel-cwp/control-web-panel-cwp-admin-tutorials/aetherinox-csf-firewall-update-to-v15-09/

In addition to our public KB, we have also setup support forums at: https://sysadmin.help

CSF Firewall / Re: CSF Auto Update Re-Enabled v14.24 and v15.00

Hello @Starburst,

Are the mirrors still up? I am getting a expired SSL certificate and no index.

As an example, I cannot find CSF on elrepo.nue.de.ssimn.org and csf -u returns:

Code: [Select]

csf -u
Oops: Unable to download: Not Found

with: if ($chosen eq "") {$chosen = "elrepo.nue.de.ssimn.org"} in /usr/local/csf/lib/ConfigServer/Config.pm

Thank you in advance!

Updates / Re: [SECURITY ALERT] Unauthorized port / [SECURITY ALERT] Unknown/Untrusted file..

No, it's a scary false positive. Ignore it and it will go away with the next CWP update when they update the script. Or edit the script (/scripts/cwp_security_audit) directly to remove the stanza that checks for ghost files.

Since I run CWP on an alternate port, that script also generates a warning about unauthorized ports -- but of course it's authorized and listed in
/usr/local/cwpsrv/conf/cwpsrv.conf and /etc/csf/csf.conf. So I had to add my alternate port to the list of allowed ports in that script.

Forum downtime actually feels self-inflicted because of 503 gateway errors. Nginx could be updated & tuned better and for sure php-fpm starvation is the root of the problem -- PHP on a PHP-heavy forum needs greater resources, caching, increased timeouts, etc. But for sure CF turnstile would be a great addition for DDoS protection.

Hi,

Thank you very much for the answers here, but I've gotten distracted...

I'm now with AL 9.7, but with the original CSF of the CWP, and with version 14.2, I'm just asking for the links for:

1. Do I have to be on version 15 of the original CSF of the CWP to be able to switch to the CSF fork of Aetherinox??
A link to switch from version 14.2 to version 15.0 of the original CSF of the CWP...

2. And the link to switch from the original CSF to the CSF fork of Aetherinox...

Thanks in advance!

Goodbye CWP, I’m done for good.

Alright folks, this is my last post here.

I’m officially moving away from Control Web Panel and I’m not looking back. This isn’t a rage-quit. It’s a long-overdue “operations sanity” decision.

Why I’m leaving:
Admins missing in action. Too often it feels like nobody is steering the ship.
A few loud users run the forum. If you ask real questions, you get politics instead of answers.
Support reality: Asking for help here is mostly useless and if you positively criticize something, some people act like you committed a crime.
The usual reply: “Go buy a paid panel then.” Cool. That’s exactly what I did because when clients are paying me, I need reliability and support, not forum drama.
Updates went for a toss: There hasn’t been a meaningful update in forever (feels like a year+). PHP updates feel like a wishful dream, roadmap talk stays talk, and the product momentum just isn’t there.
Updates + security: CVEs get discovered fast… but fixes feel slow. And in between, you’re left patching holes with your own custom scripts just to keep things tight.
DIY forever: Fixing loopholes and making things “production-safe” shouldn’t require custom scripts for half the stack, but here we are.
DNS cluster (sorry): It’s not production-grade. I ended up writing my own DNS cluster scripts and they’ve been more stable and predictable than what I got out of the box.
My take (simple):
Open-source is amazing when it’s actively maintained and supported.
But if you’re running a business, charging clients, or your uptime matters, then support and accountability aren’t “luxury items.” They’re the basics.

So yeah… I finally did it. Moved on.
And honestly, if you’re reading this while firefighting the same stuff every week maybe you should consider it too.

No hate, no personal beef just facts from the trenches.

Wishing you all the best.
Logging off for good...
