    I've had a good experience using APF firewall (based on iptables) for securing servers

    BFD is a good addon for it to prevent brute force attacks

    I had an incident with mass visitors/proxy flood to one of my websites from my VPS and at a time my VPS stuck because of this!
    And i don`t have any VPS!
    Configuration is:
    CPU: 4Ghz
    RAM: 4GB
    and at a time i had 0GB free ram because of this!
    I want to prevent this kind of atacks!
    Thank you!

    So you wanna say you got (D)DOSed? CSF will let you easily set rates for requests/s, connections/s + other stuff.

    I will chime in with another vote for CSR. I use Cent on many of my servers and they work very well together.

    I have been using CSF for a long time myself.

    I am happy with it, and i would recommend it as well.
