APF Installation (Firewall)

1) Login to your box as root
2) Download the APF Source (current version 0.9.3.3)

CODE
# wget http://www.rfxnetworks.com/downloads/apf-current.tar.gz


3) Extract the tar.gz

CODE
# tar -zxf apf-current.tar.gz


4) Enter the APF directory

CODE
# cd apf-0.9.3_3


5) Run install code

CODE
./install.sh


6) Modify the APF config File

CODE
#vi /etc/apf/conf.apf


Hit i to enter insert mod
7) Add in the ports you want to open for inbound (INGRES). The following is for a cPanel box

CODE

# Common ingress (inbound) TCP ports
IG_TCP_CPORTS=" 20,21,22,25,26,53,80,110,143,443,465,993,995,2082,
2083,2086,2087,2095,2096,3306,6666"

# Common ingress (inbound) UDP ports
IG_UDP_CPORTS="21,53,465,873"

# Common ICMP (inbound) types
# 'internals/icmp.types' for type definition; 'all' is wildcard for any
IG_ICMP_TYPES="3,5,11,0,30,8"



Please note that the above variables are already there, I placed what should be in there

8) Tell APF to monitor out going (EGRESS) also

CODE

Change the line:
EGF="0"
to
EGF="1"




9) Tell APF what ports to monitor

CODE

# Common egress (outbound) TCP ports
EG_TCP_CPORTS="21,22,25,26,37,43,53,80,110,113,443,465,873,2089,3306"

# Common egress (outbound) UDP ports
EG_UDP_CPORTS="20,21,53,465,873"

# Common ICMP (outbound) types
# 'internals/icmp.types' for type definition; 'all' is wildcard for any
EG_ICMP_TYPES="all"

10) Save and exit - hit 'esc' :wq 'enter'

11) Start APF

CODE
# /usr/local/sbin/apf -s


You may or may not get output, if you do please reply and I can advide as to what to fix. If all goes well ou go back to the command line.
You now want to verify everyhting works, you can still get into SSH, cPanel works, you can view a page, etc.

12) If all works edit the config file and change the developer mode to 0

CODE
# vi /etc/apf/conf.apf


Hit i to enter insert mode

CODE
Change
DEVM="1"
to
DEVM="0"



Save and quit
Hit 'esc' :wq 'enter'

13) Restart APF


CODE
# /usr/local/sbin/apf -r



APF is now installed and monitoring your server.
