Hi,
I think mine modsec works i keep getting emails of blocked IP's
Had a few bugs since last night update but for now I see few problems:

Firewall module: The module firewallv2 does not exist.
Mod Security: just keeps loading and stops.

Before this CWP was offline with cert error which I did fix with command from other post.
Apache stoped to work also had to rebuild new version which is good but think configuration files are overwritten also sites which are loaded with index.php went back first index was index.html

I ditched cwp last year for virtualmin and never looked back.  I had used cwp probably for 5 years with no significant developer advancements.  cwp has more bugs than windows.  No one cares, no one replies except members of the forum. In the first years, there were many big contributors, but they have all jumped ship or just lost interest. Life goes on.  The new generation has no patience or interest in fixing the absolute worst choice for open source webpanel.

Virtualmin is stable and after a year i have never encountered a single bug.  GUI is excellent but takes a while to adjust after using cwp for many years.  I am running on ubuntu.  and you should too.  Centos days are done.  When I hear centos I think Netscape, netmeeting, and Napster. 

Centoscwp doesnt even advertise this forum on their website.  And there is a good reason why they are not doing so.  They dont want potential new users to learn the truth.  On the positive side, this forum is now operating on https after 12 years of no ssl certs.

Stop wasting your time and switch to virtualmin or aapanel.  Signing up for centoscwp means daily visits to this fixit forum for the next 5 years.   Over the past year I have never needed to visit any support forum for virtualmin.
Listen to everything Pixelpadre says.

Firewall GUI is mostly fixed in 1.6
If you are running CSF 15.10 you can access everything to the bottom left of the menu bar.
15.10 installed it's own backup.

The GUI for ModSecurity is currently broken. :/

Please, it is very important to fix the backup system, which has been preventing any account restoration for weeks.
