CSF: Remove port 22/2222 when those ports are changed?

[zakazak]

Hi everyone,
I have changed my SSH port as well as my DA port to something else than 22 / 2222.
Is it safe to remove those ports from the csf firewall configuration then?
Thanks!

yes, you can also add your current IP to allowed - so for you all ports will be visible.
then you can try connect from different IP to be sure all works fine.
Also don't forget to change ssh port in CSF so it will monitor it instead of old 22

Basically I changed:

• directadmin.conf (port=customport)
• sshd_config (change SSH port)
• csf.conf (change tcp_in / tcp_out / tcp6_in / tcp6_out and directadmin_port)

and in CSF few lines before eof
PORTS_sshd = "22"
