Download Patches ¶
After you have installed CSF, ConfigServer WebUI, and enabled both lfd and csf services; it's now time to run the patcher. The patcher will check your current configuration, and add a series of iptable rules so that apps like Docker and OpenVPN can communicate with the outside world and users can access your services.
About¶
The patcher includes several patches:
