NAME¶
firewalld.conf - firewalld configuration file
SYNOPSIS¶
/etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf
DESCRIPTION¶
firewalld.conf is loaded by firewalld during the initialization
process. The file contains the basic configuration options for
firewalld.
OPTIONS¶
These are the options that can be set in the config file:
DefaultZone
This sets the default zone for connections or interfaces
if the zone is not selected or specified by NetworkManager, initscripts or
command line tool. The default zone is public.
MinimalMark
For some firewall settings several rules are needed in
different tables to be able to handle packets in the correct way. To achieve
that these packets are marked using the MARK target
iptables(8) and
ip6tables(8). With the MinimalMark option a block of marks can be
reserved for private use; only marks over this value are used. The default
MinimalMark value is 100.
CleanupOnExit
If firewalld stops, it cleans up all firewall rules.
Setting this option to no or false leaves the current firewall rules
untouched. The default value is yes or true.
Lockdown
If this option is enabled, firewall changes with the
D-Bus interface will be limited to applications that are listed in the
lockdown whitelist (see
firewalld.lockdown-whitelist(5)). The default
value is no or false.
IPv6_rpfilter
If this option is enabled (it is by default), reverse
path filter test on a packet for IPv6 is performed. If a reply to the packet
would be sent via the same interface that the packet arrived on, the packet
will match and be accepted, otherwise dropped. For IPv4 the rp_filter is
controlled using sysctl.
IndividualCalls
If this option is disabled (it is by default), combined
-restore calls are used and not individual calls to apply changes to the
firewall. The use of individiual calls increases the time that is needed to
apply changes and to start the daemon, but is good for debugging as error
messages are more specific.
LogDenied
Add logging rules right before reject and drop rules in
the INPUT, FORWARD and OUTPUT chains for the default rules and also final
reject and drop rules in zones for the configured link-layer packet type. The
possible values are: all, unicast, broadcast,
multicast and off. The default setting is off, which
disables the logging.
AutomaticHelpers
For the secure use of iptables and connection tracking
helpers it is recommended to turn AutomaticHelpers off. But this might have
side effects on other services using the netfilter helpers as the sysctl
setting in /proc/sys/net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_helper will be changed. With
the system setting, the default value set in the kernel or with sysctl will be
used. Possible values are: yes, no and system. The
default setting is system.
AllowZoneDrifting
Older versions of firewalld had undocumented behavior
known as "zone drifting". This allowed packets to ingress multiple
zones - this is a violation of zone based firewalls. However, some users rely
on this behavior to have a "catch-all" zone, e.g. the default zone.
You can enable this if you desire such behavior. It's disabled by default for
security reasons. Note: If "yes" packets will only drift from source
based zones to interface based zones (including the default zone). Packets
never drift from interface based zones to other interfaces based zones
(including the default zone). Valid values; "yes", "no".
Defaults to "yes".
