It seems you are correct, due to the fact that ports 1025-65535 are open by default. I must've changed to the default zone to home for my network when I tried this years ago.
Thanks for the correction.

I wouldn't have this conversation if we had no firewall rules like arch or Debian, but we do. We even go as far as install and enable Firewalld by default. As far as I know Fedora is positioning itself as a beginner-friendly Linux distro, thus we should strive to protect users. Enabling a firewall that blocks traffic up to port 1024 is strange and confusing, especially for security minded beginners.

Fedora enables firewalld by default as well.
I guess you mean OpenSUSE?
