Hi there,
could anyone tell me how I could change the firewall options via terminal. I don’t want always to open the WUI.
THX, pierre
Hello @anon4944014 ,
welcome to the international IPFire community !
You can change all kinds of options via SSH, including the installation options : Setup command
Note : Access to IPFire in SSH requires opening the SSH service, via the GUI > System > SSH access (be careful for security)
More expert users than me will certainly offer you many others possibilities…
As far as I know, the usual use of IPFire normally goes through the GUI,
SSH is more used for reading logs, maintenance operations, etc.
Kind regards, Stéphane

Hi all,
you can find the settings for the firewall options under /var/ipfire/firewall/settings “POLICY=MODE1” is blocked, “POLICY=MODE2” is allowed. If the changes should take affect, you need to restart the firewall via
/etc/init.d/firewall restart
, may a reload should also be OK, it might be an idea if you check this by your own.
As a first idea.
Best,
Erik
