<title>Firewall</title>
<para>Cockpit uses <ulink url="https://www.firewalld.org">firewalld</ulink> to
interact with the system's firewall. No firewall configuration UI will be
shown if firewalld is not installed.</para>
<para>Firewalld controls access to its APIs via PolicyKit. The user logged
into Cockpit needs to have the appropriate permissions to view or modify
the settings.</para>
<para>Cockpit can currently only show, add, and remove predefined firewalld
services in the default zone.</para>
<para>To perform similar tasks from the command line, use
<ulink url="https://www.firewalld.org/documentation/man-pages/firewall-cmd.html">firewalld-cmd</ulink>.
For example, to get the same list of allowed services that Cockpit
displays:</para>
<programlisting>
$ <command>sudo firewall-cmd --list-services</command>
dhcpv6-client samba-client mdns ssh cockpit
</programlisting>
<para>To enable an additional service, use:</para>
<programlisting>
$ <command>firewall-cmd --add-service pop3</command>
success
</programlisting>
