About
Firewalld 1) is a firewall application that wraps the iptables firewall 2) provided by the Linux kernel.
firewalld is based on iptable and therefore is based on the same concept such as:
- zone - trust level on Network interfaces and source,
- rule - traffic rules
- policy - traffic rules between zones if you happen to have more than one interface.
Firewalld is the default firewall on most Linux distributions (Fedora 38, Centos 7, …)
