Thank so much

thanks for help Steve, look like you so active around this room , what I need to do is just remove that line from deny_hosts.rules right ? nothing else with BFD ?

is it relate anything to IP Table ? you think I need to flush it ?

You can just remove those lines and it will be gone.

I did , and he still can not access to his cpanel

Try to flush it, if that doesn't work post again

do:

service apf restart

Make sure to add your ip also to the following to avoid being banned again:

/etc/apf/allow_hosts.rules
/usr/local/bfd/ignore.hosts


Goodluck!

apf -r

that's it? is there a way to restart bfd ?

In later APF versions you can do:

apf - u 1.2.3.4



(to unban)

I don't see why you would need to restart BFD - it just runs via cron.
