      But if you want to test is manually, I think is is working properly.

      At least for dns and Ubuntu I think it does want @aaronstuder asked for originally. The idea of custom ports could be done as well, probably just adding a list of ports you wish to open for each domain.

        @romo I love your script! Thank you so much! Sorry I didn’t reply before somehow I missed your post 😕

        Can you make this so I can set whatever ports I want? In the example I gave before I just wanted to do DNS but now my mind is spinning with other ideas 🙂

        @aaronstuder Different ports per domain or just add a list of custom ports for all domains?

          @Romo Same ports all domains, but then then maybe allowing all ports since we are restricting by IP address already.

          Seems like:

          sudo ufw allow from 123.45.67.89
          

          Would work?

            Well that's gonna be much easier.

            Just finished a custom-ports branch, that gives you the ability to specify ports and protocol (tcp/udp)

              Added the allow all ports for a domain, it is also in the custom-ports branch if you wanna test it and let me know if it works properly for you. I'll merge it to master if it works ok and start removing everything that prints to stdout.

                        I don't get the point of this. I mean it is a cool concept, but it is to much work.

                            What's not to get? This is being used to limit who can access the cloud hosted Pi-hole server to only those whose DDNS domain (and ergo IP address) is listed. It makes the server DNS access non-public for those with dynamic IPs who are setup with a DDNS domain.

                            Do you have another recommendation for limiting server access for DNS services to a limited IP that is dynamically assigned by the ISP?

                            I agree it's been a lot of work for Romo who's kindly provided us with the script but in the absence of a better solution, this is extremely useful.

                              What's not to get? This is being used to limit who can access the cloud hosted Pi-hole server to only those whose DDNS domain (and ergo IP address) is listed. It makes the server DNS access non-public for those with dynamic IPs who are setup with a DDNS domain.

                              Do you have another recommendation for limiting server access for DNS services to a limited IP that is dynamically assigned by the ISP?

                              I agree it's been a lot of work for Romo who's kindly provided us with the script but in the absence of a better solution, this is extremely useful.

                              I am going to be using it to give my friends and family access to a bunch of services I run, DNS, Nextlcloud, etc. That's why I had @Romo have it allow all connections from one IP 😉

                                The point is there is no point to the entire DNS for friends and family thing.

                                  This is not entirely true. If you're not an ass like JB, and you take care of your family's and friend's computers, this could save you a lot of headaches by preventing those family and friends from getting some infections/ads, etc. Of course, I am an like like JB I don't want to support more than I have to.. so I wouldn't bother outside my own home 😉

                                    Finally had some time to finish working on the Fedora based rules, I used firewall-cmds rich-rules in order to work with the default zone, I think it is the best way to handle it but I am open to suggestions.

                                    Tested the script in Fedora Server 26, but I believe it should work properly on CentOS 7 and its default python version.

                                    It appears to be working, haven't tested it too much but the configs seem to show what they must.

                                    Current version tested in on branch firewalld-rules if any one else wants to test it.

                                      By the way is there a way in firewall-cmd to clear the rules in one pass, basically the equivalent of ubuntus ufw reset?

                                        @romo not sure. Maybe @scottalanmiller knows?

                                          I got it from the firewall-cmd man page
