Using NFS across a firewall is not typically done. Clients and servers are all expected to be on a trusted network. It is possible NFSv4 has made changes in this respect, I haven't looked.
I run both nfs server and clients in all my computers in my LAN, and I do want to keep all my machines with an active firewall. This is pretty normal.
I disagree. If the network is trusted, what is the point of a firewall?
NFS in particular is often performance sensitive since programs aren't written to expect it. So added cycles due to a firewall are a non-starter in a lot of use cases, quite apart from any other reasons.
I experienced "difficulties" with nfs/nfs4 and switched to sshfs and haven't looked back. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet oftc
