firewall Module

[Renier Marx]

hi it doesn't seem like this module blocks anything? its enabled and all access is still there it doesn't block?

iptables -v -n -L | less

This will show you what rules are or are not being enabled.

If there are no rules, check your various logs to see if something is preventing the firewall from being activated.

OK, so no firewall is active.

Have you clicked the Activate button? Do you get any errors when you do so?

If in doubt, click on Edit configuration, then on Apply Configuration and follow the instructions (basically, check Preview to make sure something is going to be configured, then click on Activate.)
