For a long time, I regarded it as an operating system that was meant for people who already knew the ins and outs of Linux. But because of the hard work that&#8217;s been put in by the Fedora team, this distribution is now user-friendly &#8212; and that shift explains my change of heart.<\/p>\n<p>But there&#8217;s one thing that I wouldn&#8217;t wish upon any new Linux user &#8212; the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/cybersecurity-101-everything-on-how-to-protect-your-privacy-and-stay-safe-online\/\" rel=\"follow\">management of the firewall<\/a>. Sure, Fedora&#8217;s &#8216;firewalld&#8217; command line tool isn&#8217;t all that hard to use, but Linux users shouldn&#8217;t&nbsp;<em>have<\/em> to bother with the command line. And given how important cybersecurity has become, it&#8217;s important to not ignore the firewall on a computer &#8212; even if it runs Linux.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also:&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/best-vpn\/\" rel=\"follow\"><strong>The best VPN services (and how to choose the right one for you)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But what does a firewall do? Essentially, a firewall offers protection against unwanted attacks by blocking access to ports and services. Not only that, but firewalls can prevent unwanted traffic from getting out of your computer. This latter issue could be essential if your computer is compromised with a virus that attempts to infect other computers by sending out infected packets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>When a firewall is enabled, it allows users to define what traffic is allowed in and out and what is not. The best way to approach a firewall is to deny all traffic in and out and then allow only specific traffic. For example, you could block all traffic in and out but allow web traffic in (if you&#8217;re running a web server). Or you could allow secure shell traffic in and even specify what IP addresses are given access.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/6-simple-cybersecurity-rules-you-can-apply-now\/\" rel=\"follow\">6 simple cybersecurity rules to live by <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, there&#8217;s a handy GUI application that can be installed that prevents users from having to dive into the command line to manage Fedora&#8217;s firewall.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Before we get started, I want to mention that this GUI can be a bit intimidating at first. But once you understand the basics, you&#8217;ll be able to manage the firewall without getting overwhelmed.
