Uncomplicated Firewall (ufw) is an easy firewall to setup and understand. ufw blocks traffic and allows it via iptables.
iptables is a firewall tool that comes pre-installed on most Linux systems that allows you to control and manage the traffic going in and out of your computer or network.
iptables works by creating a set of rules that define which network traffic is allowed to pass through and which is blocked. For instance, to allow only certain types of network traffic, such as web traffic on port 80, and block everything else.
# Install UFW
sudo dnf install ufw
# SSH protocol
sudo ufw limit 22/tcp
# HTTP
sudo ufw allow 80/tcp
# HTTPS
sudo ufw allow 443/tcp
# All incoming connections will be blocked by the firewall,
# unless explicitly allowed by a previous rule
sudo ufw default deny incoming
# All outgoing connections from your system will be permitted by the firewall
sudo ufw default allow outgoing
# Enable UFW
sudo ufw enable
# Summary review
sudo ufw status verbose
In case you need to: sudo ufw disable
ufw reset
Example: sudo ufw delete deny 80/tcp
I had an issue where ufw was disabled after restart: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1399653/ufw-disabled-inactive-on-reboot
