I'm telneting in from ssh on a machine on the local network, still getting
connection refused.
The zone apparently means something because an interface can only be on one.
Moving it to a different zone results in the same error (same services/ports
opened in each zone).
I may as well disable firewalld and let my router handle the firewall.
I don't plan to use my server as a workstation.
Have a read through this and then decide on if you want to use it or not.
You can also switch to iptables-service and mask firewalld if you want the
same behaviour as in C6.
7.3 also has nftables as a tech preview, but I've not finished my article
on that yet.
