Moreover, in both cases, the bad thing is that the system is in a state where the network is active and without a firewall for some time. This is especially dangerous in the systemd era, when the end of such "one shot" services is chaotic and unmanaged - so it is probably not possible to start the network until after akmods has finished. Also, due to the shortcomings of systemd network start, it is now recommended to configure network services to listen on 0.0.0.0 (and not only on specific IP addresses) - so insecure LAN-only services running on firewall router are accessible from the Internet if the firewall is not started. Or am I wrong? I admit that I still don't know the monstrous systemd in detail... A slightly better solution is probably to initially run the firewall without the akmods-built modules and then update the firewall with the geoip filter after the akmods has run. But isn't there an even better solution? -- Franta Hanzlik -- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
