firewalld is a firewall management tool for Linux

Beschreibung

firewalld

It provides firewall features by acting as a front-end for the Linux kernel's netfilter framework via the nftables userspace utility (before v0.6.0 iptables backend), acting as an alternative to the nft command line program. The name firewalld adheres to the Unix convention of naming system daemons by appending the letter "d".

firewalld is written in Python. It was intended to be ported to C++, but the porting project was abandoned in January 2015.

Features

firewalld supports both IPv4 and IPv6 networks and can administer separate firewall zones with varying degrees of trust as defined in zone profiles. Administrators can configure Network Manager to automatically switch zone profiles based on known Wi-Fi (wireless) and Ethernet (wired) networks, but firewalld cannot do this on its own.

Services and applications can use the D-Bus interface to query and configure the firewall. firewalld supports timed rules, meaning the number of connections (or "hits") to a service can be limited globally. There is no support for hit-counting and subsequent connection rejection per source IP; a common technique deployed to limit the impact of brute-force hacking and distributed denial-of-service attacks.

firewalld's command syntax is similar to but more verbose than other iptables front-ends like Ubuntu's Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw). The command-line interface allows managing firewall rulesets for protocol, ports, source and destination; or predefined services by name.

Services are defined as XML files containing port- and protocol-mappings, and optionally extra information like specifying subnets and listing required Kernel helper modules.

The syntax resembles that of systemd's service files. A simple service file for a web server listening on TCP port 443 might look like this: 

<source lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<service>
  <short>Web Server</short>
  <description>Public web host over HTTPS.</description>
  <port port="443" protocol="tcp" />
</service>
</source>

Limitations

Firewalld currently does not support outbound rules to the same capacity of inbound rules. Limitations include things such on ipsets, service names, and default outbound block by default rules required by standards such as NIST 800-171 and 800-53. Default block all needs to be done at the "raw" IPTables level via the --direct flag, and with the order of operations FirewallD uses to prioritize Rrules, rich rules, direct rules, it may be easier to enter all rules for outbound via --direct or use iptables (netfilter-persist)

Graphical front-ends (GUIs)

firewall-config

is a graphical front-end that is optionally included with firewalld, with support for most of its features.

firewall-applet

is a small status indicator utility that is optionally included with firewalld. It can provide firewall event log notifications as well as a quick way to open firewall-config. firewall-applet was ported from the GTK+ to the Qt framework in the summer of 2015 following the GNOME Desktop’s deprecation of system tray icons.

Adoption

firewalld ships by default on the following Linux distributions

firewalld is enabled by default in all of these distributions. firewalld is also available as one of many firewall options in the package repository of many other popular distributions such as Debian or Ubuntu.
