🔗 Summary

Support for dynamic firewall model with DBus interface. The current firewall model is static and requires a full firewall restart for all changes, even simple ones.

🔗 Owner

🔗 Current status

  • Targeted release: Fedora 15
  • Last updated: 2010-10-07
  • Percentage of completion: 30%

🔗 Detailed Description

system-config-firewall wiki page

🔗 Benefit to Fedora

The dynamic firewall mode will make it possible to change firewall settings without the need to restart the firewall and will make persistent connections possible.

🔗 Scope

Requires rebasing system-config-firewall to a new version.

🔗 How To Test

Compare firewall settings in static and dynamic mode.

🔗 User Experience

Connections will be persistent even after changing firewall settings.

🔗 Dependencies

  • iptables (no changes should be needed)

🔗 Contingency Plan

The current static mode will still be available, therefore backwards compatible. The dynamic mode could easily be deactivated to go back to the old mode.

🔗 Documentation

See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SystemConfig/firewall for now.

🔗 Release Notes

Fedora 15 adds support for firewall daemon, that provides the dynamic firewall model with a D-Bus interface.
