I'll be focusing on INPUT_ZONES_SOURCE for my example. The logic within each is pretty much the same, other than the IP/interface note. All prospective connections from the outside are sent to the either the INPUT_ZONES_SOURCE chain or INPUT_ZONES chain, based on whether they were picked out based on source IP or the interface the packet came in on.Packets in existing connections are automatically accepted. When a rule is set in firewall-config, the packet for a new connection must go through the following steps to be accepted. I double-checked this on a Fedora 20 VM that I've been fiddling with. Most of the firewalld information was collected on the fly based on the iptables rules that it implemented. This is a bit of new ground for me, as my main experience with firewalld up to this point has been making a beeline back to traditional reading of iptables rules out of the save file. A bunch of my answer involves manually bashing about in iptables rules. The iptables service that loads rules out of /etc/sysconfig/iptables is not present by default.
Newer Fedora versions (Fedora 18 and onwards) use Firewalld to manage iptables rules.

Additionally, I should clarify I actually mean opening ports on my local firewall, I said port forwarding but that was not actually what I meant.įor a further clarification, this isn't isolated to one person - I've tried with both my brothers, neither of whom is using any special security software that I know of.
UPDATE: Hosting on LAN works fine, I just can't see the games others host. Then you can directly connect to it at (probably) 192.168.#.#:#. The person hosting will receive a message with it when they open the game. You can join the game by connecting to it directly, just ask for the port. Oh, and in case anyone comes across this question with a similar problem, I'm just going to reiterate: This isn't a huge deal as I can just ask what port the server is being hosted on, but it's been bugging me. It's also possible it's another issue pertinent to Linux or something else altogether, though. My current theory is that while joining games obviously doesn't require opened ports discovering them might - is this the case?Īs far as I know I can't permit specific applications through my firewall (I'm on Linux, and not that I'd care to just give a blanket permit to Java in any case) so I can't test this without having some idea of what ports would be required. It just says "Scanning for games on your local network." indefinitely.
I am not able to see Minecraft LAN games on my multiplayer screen automatically.Not with hosting them or even with joining them exactly, but with seeing them at all. Lately I've been having some trouble with Minecraft LAN games.
