Hello,

may be I didn't explained that in your ticket, here is what I've done

ddos deflate is installed and its using iptbales to ban IPs with more than 150 connection and its can be used without apf. (even it will not stop real ddos attacks tbh)

csf installed to ban failure http,ftp,imap,smtp logins ,block port scanning attempts & bad reputation IPs from spamhaus database.

hope that will clarify the situation here

CSF already has CT(connection tracking) option. It basically does the same thing.

Find at GOogle CSF home page. then at the bottom is link on how to isntall CSF.
Then you whitelist you IP by adding it into /etc/csf/csf.allow then you can experiment and watch csf logs to see which actions and IP s are banner to prevent banning valid users.

Im using CSF and i can tell you learning it and getting thru it , finetuning can take weeks or more.
