I tried installing csf and I'm pretty sure it's not working correctly. Here's what I see when I check the status of csf and lfd...
Code:
service lfd status

Lines here that particularly catch my eye are...
Code:
CGroup: /system.slice/lfd.service
           `-28209 lfd - sleeping
and
Code:
csf.service: Failed to reset devices.list: Operation not permitted

I am able to manually deny an IP address from terminal...
Code:
csf -d 212.108.234.94
Adding 212.108.234.94 to csf.deny and iptables DROP...
DROP  all opt -- in !lo out *  212.108.234.94  -> 0.0.0.0/0
LOGDROPOUT  all opt -- in * out !lo  0.0.0.0/0  -> 212.108.234.94

But I don't think any IPs identified by BFM are being blocked automatically.

Can someone help me troubleshoot this? Much appreciated.

This should be fine :)

This on the other hand does not appear to be. Is this a VM? If so, what type of virtualization and which OS are you using?

Try run csftest.pl (in /etc/csf/ on CentOS)
