FedoraWorkstation default firewall rules unsafe

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

Yesterday, while assisting a user with connecting a printer, I noticed that the default firewall zone on Fedora Workstation is set to "FedoraWorkstation". This zone has ports 1025-65535 open by default [0].  Is there a historical reason for this, just an oversight, or am I missing something? This configuration doesn't seem ideal for typical users and developers. For example, I often run dev servers that I assume are secure due to the default firewall settings, but it appears that even the Home zone is more restrictive.

I'm considering to open a change request to remove these firewall rules for better security but want to ensure I'm not overlooking anything.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,
Arthur Bols
