# Firewall Profiles

## Profiles

Configuration profile functions for `/etc/csf/csf.conf`. You can create your own profiles using the examples provided in `/usr/local/csf/profiles/`. The profile `reset_to_plesk_defaults.conf` is a special case and will always be the latest default csf.conf based on your OS platform and Plesk version.

| Profile | Description |
|---|---|
| block all perm | This provides a configuration where all blocks are configured to be permanent |
| block all temp | This provides a configuration where all blocks are configured to be temporary for a duration of one hour |
| disable\_alerts | This profile disables all options that will send email alerts. This profile is not recommended as the alerts often provide essential information about blocks and hacking activity on a server and if disabled that information will be lost. Additionally, some of these options disable functionality. |
| protection\_high | This provides a high security level configuration that sets low levels for failure blocking and enables some of the more advanced features to provide a more secure configuration. It also enables a large number of alert emails. This profile can increase the rate of false-positive blocks |
| protection\_low | This provides a medium security level configuration that sets medium levels for login failure blocking and minimises false-positives. It is a slightly higher level than the default installation. |
| reset\_to\_plesk\_defaults | The profile reset\_to\_plesk\_defaults is a special case and will always be the latest default csf.conf based on your OS platform and plesk version. |
