Hello all:
I am looking at the documentation of the new firewalld service in CentOS 7. It looks like no matter what I configure with it, outgoing connections are still going to be allowed. That does not seem very secure.
I always set my servers to default policy of DROP for everything incoming and outgoing and then add rules to allow very specific traffic through.
Is this possible using the new firewalld service or should I disable it and go back to using iptables?
Thanks, Neil
Those with a RHEL subscription can find a Red Hat knowledge base articel under
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1121463
about the question "How to filter outbound or outgoing network traffic in RHEL7?"
It pretty much explains how to achieve outbound filtering using FirewallD.
