What zone is used for the local network and what zone is used for outside access?
All traffic from localhost is allowed. No zone is involved.
The zone for "outside" access depends on which interface receives the packet, and what zone you've put that interface in. I believe that
defaults to
"public."
I'm telneting in from ssh on a machine on the local network, still getting connection refused.
The zone apparently means something because an interface can only be on one. Moving it to a different zone results in the same error (same services/ports opened in each zone).
I may as well disable firewalld and let my router handle the firewall.
I don't plan to use my server as a workstation.
