[suspended] Re: securing this workstation.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



As I mentioned in a new thread ("suppose I remove nvidia card"), the workstation is practically unusable.  Once that's solved, I'll return to this thread.

I thank all who have tried to help so far.

(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?
