Feature changed by: Markos Chandras (markoschandras) Feature #318356, revision 3 Title: Add firewalld to openSUSE openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Mathias Homann (lemmy04) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: firewalld provides a dynamic firewall that can handle iptables, ip6tables and ebtables based on the connections saved in NetworkManager. With firewalld the firewall configuration can be changed "on the fly" without having to reload the whole firewall tables. Firewalld is particularly useful for computers with highly volatile network setups, i.e. mobile hardware (laptops) or virtualization hosts. it would be desirable to add firewalld as an alternative to SuSEfirewall2 for users that want it. Test Case: Test case: I have been using firewalld from home:lemmy04:firewalld for a couple of months now to no ill effect. Test case 2: firewalld in its current version is the default firewall subsystem in fedora and RHEL7... Use Case: In Network Manager you can define for each stored connection which firewall zone will be used for the interface if that connection is used. Best use case for this: wireless interface on a laptop of someone who travels a lot. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: SuSEfirewall2 is static and according to its developer not actively developed anymore. Also, current network setups can easily call for more than three zones, which firewalld provides by default.
