How To Remove APF Firewall

APF is highly powered firewall which helps you in defining Iptable rules on your server. If you are sure to remove the APF from your system, below are the steps:

Remove APF

# /etc/init.d/apf stop
# chkconfig apf off
# rm -rf /etc/apf
# rm -f /etc/rc.d/init.d/apf
# rm -f /etc/logrotate.d/apf
# rm -f /etc/cron.daily/apf
# rm -f /etc/cron.d/refresh.apf
# rm -f /usr/local/sbin/apf
# rm -f /var/log/apf_log*

If there are “echo /etc/apf/apf -s >> /dev/null 2>&1” in the /etc/rc.local file, delete it.
