That is because the user domain by default is for the most part exempt.
Some system services are targeted, and managing this requires some
knowledge/awareness about the matter.

Its like Fedora default iptables/netfilter configuration. As long as you
do not have any exotic services listening on the network or have any
nat/routing requirements, things just work.

Else you are required to have some knowledge about iptables or whatever
you use to configure netfilter.
