| Before I update csf from webuzo and enable it from Testing mode, I can login to ssh with user then su - root but now I received "Connection time out".
I added SSH port 5078 to :
# Allow incoming TCP ports
TCP_IN = "20,21,22,25,53,80,143,443,587,2002,2003,2004,2005,8080,5078"
# Allow outgoing TCP ports
TCP_OUT = "20,21,22,25,53,80,110,113,443,2002,2003,2004,2005,8080,5078"
and restart solusvm but still can't access ssh.
Any idea what setting control it?

#
IPV6 = "1"
# IPv6 uses icmpv6 packets very heavily. By default, csf will allow all icmpv6

# of icmpv6 attacks. To restrict incoming icmpv6, set to "1" but may break some
# connection types

# Pre v2.6.20 kernel must set this option to "0" as no working state module is

# not support IPv6 connection tracking by opening ephemeral port range
# 32768:61000. This is only applied if IPV6_SPI is not enabled. This is the
# same workaround implemented by RedHat in the sample default IPv6 rules
#
# Because connection tracking does not work on such kernels, applications that

# directive in the options{} section of your named.conf:

# query-source-v6 port 53;

# SECTION:Integrated User Interface
###############################################################################
# Integrated User Interface. This feature provides a HTML UI to csf and lfd,
# without requiring a control panel or web server. The UI runs as a sub process
# to the lfd daemon
#
# As it runs under the root account and successful login provides root access
# to the server, great care should be taken when configuring and using this
# feature. There are additional restrictions to enhance secure access to the UI
#
# See readme.txt for more information about using this feature BEFORE enabling
# it for security and access reasons
#
# 1 to enable, 0 to disable
UI = "0"
# Set this to the port that want to bind this service to. You should configure
# this port to be >1023 and different from any other port already being used
#
# Do NOT enable access to this port in TCP_IN, instead only allow trusted IP's
# to the port using Advanced Allow Filters (see readme.txt)

# This is the login session timeout. If there is no activity for a logged in

# SECTION:Messenger service
###############################################################################
# Messenger service. This feature allows the display of a message to a blocked
# connecting IP address to inform the user that they are blocked in the
# firewall. This can help when users get themselves blocked, e.g. due to
# multiple login failures. The service is provided by two daemons running on
# ports providing either an HTML or TEXT message.
#
# This feature does not work on servers that do not have the iptables module
# ipt_REDIRECT loaded. Typically, this will be with MONOLITHIC kernels. VPS
# server admins should check with their VPS host provider that the iptables
# module is included.
#
# For further information on features and limitations refer to the csf
# readme.txt
#
# Note: Run /etc/csf/csftest.pl to check whether this option will function on
# this server
#
# 1 to enable, 0 to disable

# to this port in TCP_IN

# These settings limit the rate at which connections can be made to the
# messenger service servers. Its intention is to provide protection from

# iptables will revert for the duration to the normal blocking actiity
#
# See the iptables man page for the correct --limit rate syntax
