🔗 Dynamic Firewall
🔗 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
- Name: Thomas Woerner
- email: twoerner@redhat.com
🔗 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.
