Troubleshoot CSF & Kernel Update on Almalinux

Job ID: 38625329

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

We have a server running WHM/cPanel with AlmaLinux v8.10.0 STANDARD.

We're encountering an issue with ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF) failing to start, displaying the following error:

"iptables/1.8.5 Failed to initialize nft: Protocol not supported"

It seems a recent Linux update may have changed the protocol, preventing CSF from starting.

Additionally, we’re seeing WHM warnings indicating that a kernel update requires a server restart. Despite rebooting the server, the warning persists.

Ideal skills for this project include:
- Extensive experience with Linux, specifically Almalinux
- Proficiency in working with dedicated servers
- Deep knowledge of ConfigServer Security & Firewall (CSF)
- Strong troubleshooting skills for kernel update issues
- Familiarity with server security and firewall configurations.

Please provide your relevant experience with similar issues.
