How to stop and disable firewall on older version of CentOS/RHEL version 6.x and earlier only

If you are using RHEL (Redhat), Fedora core or Cent os Linux just type following commands to disable the iptables firewall:
# service iptables save
# service iptables stop
# chkconfig iptables off
If you are using any other Linux distribution type the following command to clear up IPv4 based firewall rules:
# iptables -F
# iptables -X
# iptables -t nat -F
# iptables -t nat -X
# iptables -t mangle -F
# iptables -t mangle -X
# iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
# iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
You may need to put above rules in a shell script and execute the same. Also remove your iptables startup script from your network configuration file such as /etc/network/interfaces. Look for post-up directive.

List current firewall rules and stop firewall (old method)

You can type the following command to see if firewall is active or not (open a terminal or ssh session and type the following command):
$ sudo iptables -L -n
Sample outputs:

You can save existing firewall rules as follows:
$ sudo iptables-save > firewall.rules
Finally, type the following commands to stop firewall and flush all the rules:
$ sudo iptables -X
$ sudo iptables -t nat -F
$ sudo iptables -t nat -X
$ sudo iptables -t mangle -F
$ sudo iptables -t mangle -X
$ sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
$ sudo iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT

A note about GUI tools for Ubuntu desktop systems

You can also use GUI tool to enable or disable Firewall under Ubuntu Linux desktop edition by visiting System > Administration > Firewall configuration option:

pls give me solution for disable linux ubuntu version 2.24.1.

#sudo ufw disable
Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup.

hi , thanks for your great help

i can connect via lan no problem but remotely always show an error messag
a connection could not be established to the ppp server try reconnecting , if the problem continues , verify your setting
and contact your administrator

i follow all the steps
what do u think where is the problem
thanks again for u help

I ran that first command and it’s shown me the IP tables but they’re empty. Does this mean the firewall’s disabled or does it mean it’s running but effectively doing nothing? This should be on a pretty much OOB Ubuntu server 12.10.

I’m very new to these settings and need a little help please? I’ve enabled the ufw in Ubuntu Server 16.04.3 LTS and allowed various ports such as, 22, 53, 80, 443, 445, 139, 8080 etc. Everything is working going through the firewall but browsers, IE Chrome and Vivaldi reports some dns problems. I would disable ufw and all is well and working again. Am I correct in enabling the ufw at all or should I leave it disabled, I’m a home user and not in any vast network environment? Any advice will appreciated. Thank you.

How to Start/Stop and Enable/Disable FirewallD and Iptables Firewall in Linux

Firewall is a software that acts as a shield between user’s system and external network allowing some packets to pass while discarding other’s. Firewall commonly operates on network layer i.e. on IP packets both Ipv4 and Ipv6.

Whether a packet will pass or will be bocked, depends on the rules against such type of packets in the firewall. These rules can be built-in or user-defined ones. Each packet which enters the network has to pass through this shield which verifies it against rules defined in it for such type of packets.

Each rule has a target action which is to be applied in case the packet fails to satisfy it. On Linux systems, firewall as a service is provided by many softwares, most common which are: firewalld and iptables.

In Linux there are many different types of firewalls used, but most standard ones are Iptables and Firewalld, which is going to discuss in this article.

What is FirewallD

FirewallD is the Dynamic Firewall Manager of Linux systems. This service is used to configure the network connections, thus deciding which external network or internal packets to allow traversing the network and which to block.

It allows two types of configurations, permanent and runtime. Runtime configurations will get lost ones the service is restarted while the permanent ones get retained across the system boot so that they are followed every time the service gets active.

Corresponding to these configurations, firewallD has two directories, default/fallback one (/usr/lib/firewall) which is lost ones system is updated and the system configuration (/etc/firewall) which remains permanent and overrides the default one if given. This is found as a default service in RHEL/CentOS 7 and Fedora 18.

What is Iptables

Iptables is another service which decides to allow, drop or return IP packets. Iptables service manages Ipv4 packets while Ip6tables manages Ipv6 packets. This service manages a list of tables where each table is maintained for different purpose like: ‘filter‘ table is for firewall rules, ‘nat‘ table is consulted in case of new connection, ‘mangle‘ in case of packet alterations and so on.

Each table further has chains which can be built-in or user-defined where a chain signifies a set of rules which are applies to a packet, thus deciding what the target action for that packet should be i.e. it must be ALLOWED, BLOCKED or RETURNED. This service is a default service on systems like: RHEL/CentOS 6/5 and Fedora, ArchLinux, Ubuntu etc.

To learn more about firewalls, follow the following links:

In this article we will explain how to start, stop or restart Iptables and FirewallD services in Linux.

How to Start/Stop and Enable/Disable FirewallD Service

If you’re using CentOS/RHEL 7 or Fedora 18+ versions, you should follow below instructions to manage FirewallD service.

Start FirewallD Service

Stop FirewallD Service

Check the Status of FirewallD

Check the State of FirewallD

As an alternative, you can disable the firewalld service so that it doesn’t apply rules to packets and enable ones needed again.

Disable FirewallD Service

Enable FirewallD Service

Mask FirewallD Service

Also, you can mask the firewall service which creates a symbolic link of the firewall.service to /dev/null , thus disabling the service.

Unmask FirewallD Service

This is reverse of masking the service. This removes the symlink of the service created during masking, thus re-enabling the service.

How to Start/Stop and Enable/Disable IPtables Service

On RHEL/CentOS 6/5/4 and Fedora 12-18 iptables firewall comes as pre and later, the iptables service can be installed via:

Then, the service can be started, stopped or restarted via following commands:

Start Iptables Service

Stop Iptables Service

Disable Iptables Service

Enable Iptables Service

Check Status of Iptables Service

On Ubuntu and some other Linux distributions however, ufw is the command which is used to manage the iptables firewall service. Ufw provides an easy interface for the user to handle the iptables firewall service.

Enable Ufw Iptables Firewall

Disable Ufw Iptables Firewall

Check Status of Ufw Iptables Firewall

However, if you want to list chains in iptables which contains all the rules following command can help you achieve the same:

Conclusion

These are the techniques which can help you start, stop, disable and enable the packet management services in Linux Based Systems. Different Linux distros can have different services as default, like: Ubuntu can have iptables as the default and pre-installed service, while CentOS can have firewalld as the default configured service for managing incoming and outgoing of IP packets.

Presented in this article are the most common tricks to manage these services on almost all Linux Distros, however, if you find something and would like to add on to this article, your comments are always welcome.
