To set up a firewall using FirewallD on OpenSUSE Linux, you will need to install the firewalld package and configure the firewall rules.
First, update the package list and install the firewalld package using the zypper command:
sudo zypper refresh sudo zypper install firewalld
Next, start the firewalld service and enable it to start automatically at boot time:
sudo systemctl start firewalld sudo systemctl enable firewalld
To view the current firewall status, you can use the firewall-cmd command:
sudo firewall-cmd --state
To allow all incoming traffic and disable the firewall, you can use the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=public
To block all incoming traffic and allow only outgoing traffic, you can use the following command:
sudo firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=block
To allow only certain types of traffic, you can use the --add-service option to allow incoming traffic for specific services. For example, to allow incoming SSH traffic (TCP port 22) and outgoing HTTP and HTTPS traffic (TCP ports 80 and 443), you can use the following commands:
sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=ssh --permanent sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=http --permanent sudo firewall-cmd --add-service=https --permanent
To apply the changes, you will need to reload the firewall configuration:
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
To verify that the firewall is running and the rules are in effect, you can use the firewall-cmd command with the --list-all option:
sudo firewall-cmd --list-all
Keep in mind that this is just a basic example of how to set up a firewall using FirewallD. You will need to customize the firewall rules to meet the specific requirements of your network environment. You should also regularly review and update the firewall rules to ensure that they are secure and effective.
