Here is the line from my pf firewall script
Code:
pass inet proto tcp from any to any port 22 keep state (max-src-conn-rate 5 / 60)
My pf limits the connection rate to port 22 to five per minute. You can set to 2 or anything else. It will stop attacker who is trying out attack on ssh server as my firewall blocks incoming request to 5.

I do use CP for clients but personally I don't use any CP. I was not aware of csf firewall script or module. There are tons of such script exists.
