Block Tor IP Addresses with CSF Firewall

To block traffic from TOR using CSF firewall, edit

nano /etc/csf/csf.blocklists

Add following to end of the file

TOR|86400|0|https://www.dan.me.uk/torlist/

86400 = Tor IP list updated every 86400 seconds (12 hours), you can change this if required, but updating every 12 hours is fine for such a large list.

Now restart CSF and LFD

csf -r

systemctl restart lfd

You can verify IPs get added to firewall by running

iptables -L -n

You wills see DROP lines for each of the TOR IP address.

iptables -L -n | grep DROP | wc -l

eg. 5955 –

You will be able to see the downloaded TOR IP list at

/var/lib/csf/csf.block.TOR
