So far I see a GUI and empty XML files with little information about how to do anything other than run firewall-cmd to add or delete specific rules. This really needs documentation so we can understand how it works and maybe compare situations with iptables that we are to migrate from so that we all do not have to figure this out from scratch. I'm not really complaining, just think we need more information so we can move forward and hopefully not make mistakes. Thanks for the help. I'm not sure that firewalld is the right tool to do NAT. It's something more like personal/desktop packet filter configuration tool right now. Maybe in next 2 or 5 years it evolves but looking at NetworkManager history and it's support for more advanced features like bridging, gives no such optimistic thoughts. Firewalld is awesome tool for opening/closing ports when in home, office or airport (or in grocery store). Other fancy features like NAT are better done by hand with iptables command. BTW why you need NAT on something else than router? Fedora is not the best router distro one can find. Mateusz Marzantowicz |
