(Fedora-42; stand-alone workstation)
This is a totally new Fedora install on a stand-alone workstation, done
today. It is not a part of a LAN or WAN or any other home or office
network.
It is not dual-boot.
I do need for Firefox, Thunderbird, and dnf to be able to interact with
the "outside world" appropriately. I do occasionally need to be able to
download or upload things.
Beyond those (and maybe other appropriate things that don't at the
moment come to mind), I do not want anyone or anything to be able to get
into this workstation. For example, no "ssh", "scp", "rlogin".
I gather from the Fedora docs that I should use firewalld or firewalld-
config. I have both. But Fedora docs does not give me enough detail.
I am not an IT professional. What specifically should I do to keep
unwanted people and things out?
That's the default Workstation configuration. ssh isn't enabled unless
you turn it on in settings.
I'm curious how firefox will be able to interact with the outside world
if it's not part of a network though. :-)
