Firewalld rules for protecting a web server.
by Jason Long
Hello,
I need the experts advice about the best Firewalld configuration for a web server. In Firewalld, I just opened port 80,443 and 22, but I'm sure with Firewalld I can protect my server with other useful rules.
Can anyone share some good rules? For example, limitation or...
Thank you.

Using firewalld to redirect IP to domain name.
by Jason Long
Hello,
Is it possible to redirect http incoming request for an IP address to a domain name? For example, if someone entered "1.2.3.4" IP in his\her browser then it redirect to "example.net".
Can Firewalld do these kind of tasks?
Thank you.

forwarding rules
by D. Hugh Redelmeier
I think I need to add a rich rule for forwarding.
Or write a nftable rule to do the same thing.
Is there a reasonable way to get firewalld-0.9 for Fedora 32?
I don't wish to compile my own and fight with Fedora's package management.
Rawhide has firewalld-filesystem-0.9.0-1.fc34.noarch.rpm
Would that install cleanly on Fedora 32?
Alternatively, is it reasonable to run the nftable service as well as
firewalld?
Alternatively, is --direct able to add nftable rules? It is documented to
run iptables rules and I'd rather not use iptables.
Suggestions?

How can I find the IP range of countries and how can I block countries by IP address?
Is it possible to block visitors by browser, operating systems or etc?
Thank you.

firewalld + openvswitch
by Gal Anonim
Hi,
After creating openvswitch bridge, there are multiple interfaces ("ovs parts") left. To which firewalld zones they belong? (entire setup is working - I am just researching proper configuration)
ovs bridge was created via nmcli, existing interfaces (nmcli c s):
br0 - ovs-bridge
br0_p01 - ovs-port
br0_p02 - ovs-port
br0_p01_i - ovs-interface (this is the only one with IP address)
ens1 - ethernet
(ip a s) shows only ens1 and br0_p01_i interfaces.
(firewall-cmd --get-active-zones) shows all of them.
The functional interface (br0_p01_i) belongs to zone with whatever its function is (internal, external, dmz, ...).
All of the remaining interfaces ended up in public zone (I am guessing NM added them to "default" zone).
Can I disable all of the filtering (by firewalld) on the ovs bridge? How?
Since ovs is layer 2, than in theory firewalld (which is basicly layer 3 filter) should not be involved at all. Than why assign, a non-layer 3 interfaces to a layer 3 firewall zone?
Any insights are welcomed.
CentOS 8 was used for this setup.

Enabling firewalld is breaking my docker connectivity, need some more
eyes on the problem
by Gunnar Niels
Hello,
I have docker and firewalld both installed on my Arch Linux machine and have been
happy with them so far, although I've recently run into an issue where I've broken
what seems to be DNS for internal running containers, and I'm trying to isolate the
reason for that. Recently I created a bridge with my primary static ip address
and added my physical NIC as a slave on the bridge so that I'd be able to run
libvirt VMs that appeared to be machines directly on my local network. That
has all worked as expected:
---
# ipb link

My problem has suddenly become: My docker containers do not appear to be capable
of dns requests unless I *disable* firwalld, something I obviously do not want to
do. So, I've taken the approach of turning off the firewalld, restarting docker,
and capturing the known good iptables dump, and then tried to compare it to a known
bad dump that is produced after I turn on firewalld and restart docker. Interestingly
*they are identical* as far as I can tell [1]. Additionally, I tried to TRACE the
traffic, and I'm seeing some very confusing info out of the kernel logs:
When things are configured in the "bad" state, the last log I see is:
Sep 08 06:08:49 baldur kernel: TRACE: filter:FORWARD:rule:5 IN=docker0 OUT=exbrPHYSIN=veth7880ce1 MAC=02:42:dd:21:67:40:02:42:ac:11:00:02:08:00 SRC=172.17.0.2 DST=192.168.2.1 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=45314 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=45834 DPT=53 LEN=40
In my attached gist, you'll see the full iptables output dump for a "bad" configuration,
and according to rule 5 on the filter FOREWARD chain....that's an accept all rule?
So I'm very configured why this would be a problem.
In the known working case, here are my traces:
Failed trace output on filter rule 5

So obviously something about disabling firewalld allows for the packet to pass
through the forward chain and hit the mangle POSTROUTING. It's completely unclear
to me how to diagnose what might be going on here, any tips appreciated. I have the
fully verbose outputs in this gist:
