If you want to prevent certain IPs from being blocked by the firewall, you can put them in the firewall whitelist. Through the admin panel, put the desired IP in the following two parts and click the Restart Firewall button that appears after saving the file:

Firewall Allow IPs

csf.ignore

Or you can edit the following two files via SSH:

/etc/csf/csf.allow

/etc/csf/csf.ignore

To restart the CSF firewall, also run this command:

csf -r && service lfd restart
