@scottalanmiller Something to add to this topic is firewalls and how to manage them

That's not so much a Linux thing. Most would recommend something that is purpose built for firewalls, like VyOS.

@travisdh1 I'm thinking @NerdyDad means Firewalld

See, now you're going to get me to do that write up. I'll warn everyone now, I'm planning on drinking when I get home tonight, my normal poor quality might be even worse than normal!

Or maybe better than usual... We'll be the judge.

The Linux firewall I assume, you need it on every server / VM.

Isn't the natural state of firewalld = disabled & stopped?

Yes the linux firewall...firewalld. Not VyOS or any other stand along system meant for routing/switching or firewalling. Just the software that is built into Fedora Server, Debian system, etc, etc, etc.

Only in Debian/Ubuntu and possibly minimal in Fedora/CentOS/RedHat. Normally it is turned on in Fedora/CentOS/RedHat.

Sorry I mean "supposed to be disabled and stopped"

Comparing firewalld and UFW would be great too.

UFW is just scripting iptables.
On the other hand, firewalld replaces iptables I thought.
