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.

Romo

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

Alex Sage

@romo not sure. Maybe @scottalanmiller knows?

I haven't tried it myself but this command Load zone default settings or report NO_DEFAULTS error.
I got it from the firewall-cmd man page

firewall-cmd --permanent --load-zone-defaults=zone

That did it, thanks @black3dynamite

Romo

Had to add .5 second delay between rule creation because rules with ports were not getting added properly.

Romo

Old rules were not getting removed properly because of a 'copy/paste' error, it is fixed now.

Really love:

firewall-cmd --permanent --load-zone-defaults=zone

@Romo Are you still maintaining this?
