csf port scanning advise

Should I really have to enable port scanning detection and IP blocking in CSF? It's blocking too many false positives

I won't recommend enabling Port_Scanning in CSF as it generates too many false positives. Disable it unless your server is under some sort of attack.

Port scanning isnt really an issue in my opinion to be honest. Rather than block port scanning manually monitor all open ports.

It is not a need, but it depends on if you have people trying to attack you. Otherwise just leave it off.
