I dont know to configure my firewalld to give processor power to Coronavirus research with boinc manager

[Srikanth Hannabeprakash]

can anyone please tell me what should I do in order to give my processor capability using boinc manager by allowing it bypass my firewall? This firewall isn't helping me connect to the boinc manager. How should I configure my firewalld to let boinc manager access my computer's hardware space and computing utilities? There are many people who want to get speed for their systems that do distributed data work on proteins and disease analysis. I want some people to help me configure my system to release its computing capabilities to our scientists and doctors out there searching for a cure to Coronavirus.  I use KDE plasma desktop on Fedora Scientific spin based on Fedora 29. My system in 4GB RAM and 4GB with the following system config: 5.3.11-100.fc29.x86_64
In fact the block devices info is as follows:

The project I want to run is "not available"

Each project operates its own server and web site, and these are sometimes offline for hours or days. Keep trying periodically, and consider attaching to other projects.

BOINC says it can't communicate

Your computer may have "firewall" software that prevents BOINC from performing network communication. Configure your firewall so that BOINC's programs (boinc.exe and boincmgr.exe) are allowed to communicate.

[Eric Garver]

Have you tried it yet? My quick search shows that no firewalld changes
should be necessary. The BOINC client will initiate the connection to
the master servers. Firewalld does not filter outbound connections. It
should work out of the box.

If think is dropping the packets then use

# firewall-cmd --set-log-denied=all

Then try BOINC again and check dmesg for dropped packets.

# dmesg

Hope that helps.
Eric.
