Leap 15.1 is using firewalld unless this was update installation from previous versions. How do i configure my firewall to accept incoming connections which are persistent over restarts?Īlso there is no file called SuSEfirewall2 under /etc/sysconfig/

Now i am a bit frustrated and decided to ask in this forum for a solution to my problem.

So i tried disabling the firewall and configure it purely trough iptables but that also did not work as on every restart the rules are completely empty and need to be restored again vira iptables-restore. Also there is no file called SuSEfirewall2 under /etc/sysconfig/ which i could edit as described in the article and under and in the SuSE wiki. Unfortunately in my case it was not honestly. In the article the author stated “the interface is pretty much I then stumbled upon an online article which decriped the usage of yast2 to configure the firewall. I found some threads describing the usage of iptables-save and iptables-restore but unfortunately i could not find an automated way which demands no user actionįor restoring the rules on startup. HoweverĪs i tried to run a server program (Minecraft) i could not connect to the server from outside so i first troubleshot using netcatĪnd also with netcat i could not create a connection fom my local mashines even.Īfter some search i found out about iptables where in fact were no rules set for the connections i attempted to try so i created the corresponding rulesĪnd finally i could connect to my server from inside and outside of the server.Īlso i found out that those changes are not persistent over restarts of the server and i started searching for a solution again. I just started a little homeserver for the first time and after some struggle with installing ubuntu i chose to use openSUSE instead. I have my server connected to my router and forwarded a port on which i want to listen my service on so it is accesible from outside of my network.
