Disabling CSF Blocked IP alerts

You need to disable the following options in CSF to disable permanent block alerts:

LF_PERMBLOCK_ALERT = "0"

LF_NETBLOCK_ALERT = "0"

but CSF would continue to send you alerts ! This is a tricky one, had to look into the whole config file to figure out what was wrong, you should also disable the following option to get it working :

LF_EMAIL_ALERT = "0"

or do a search and replace to replace all _ALERT = "1" with _ALERT = "0" 

How to proxy EVERYTHING in LINUX / MacOS

I had setup my ubuntu box to use a socks / https proxy for all the traffic and it was working fine except for a few softwares such as Teamviewer for ubuntu , and teamviewer proxy settings was not functioning either ! So I had to either manually route teamviewer subnets to use a vpn adapter such as softether or find an easy way to REALLY forward all the traffic through a proxy server . sshuttle   was my friend here ! so could finally set a TRUE GLOBAL proxy by installing sshuttle :

pip install -y sshuttle

and proxying everything :

sshuttle -r ketab 0.0.0.0/0

where ketab is the name of the ssh connection in your ssh config file . One windows one can use Softether for such an incident to proxy everything through a vpn tunnel . To proxy a specific port, you can use the following command :

sshuttle -r ketab 0.0.0.0/0:5938

where 5938 is the port number
