Other How to make CSF compatible in FreeBSD?

[blackmetal]

Hi.
We have a server with CentOS and DirectAdmin. We use iptables as firewall and CSF as graphical interface and other functions. For many reasons, we want switch to FreeBSD with DirectAdmin but we need compatible iptables or apf in FreeBSD. As I search in forums and Google it seems they do not support FreeBSD because they are packet filtering so I need a way that sets up iptables or apf on my FreeBSD because I should surely use CSF with my DirectAdmin because CSF offer many thing as like as port scanner block , bfd and etc.

Any suggestion or help?
Thanks.

If you are looking for firewall with web administration running on the FreeBSD, you may be interested in https://www.pfsense.org/ or https://opnsense.org/

There are no iptables on the FreeBSD (fortunately IMHO). You already mentioned pf, there are also ipf(ilter) and ipfw, see http://www.freebsd.cz/doc/handbook/firewalls.html

Regarding web control panel - there is for example http://ajenti.org/ with some FreeBSD support, but it doesn't seem like there is any for the firewall yet.

If I read things correctly CSF looks like an iptables front end. The right answer is to ask DirectAdmin to add official FreeBSD support using native FreeBSD firewalls. Alternately as ondra_knezour mentioned above there are other alternatives that just may not cover your entire use case.
