TCL 15.0 64bit... How to start and use Firewalld? (ie. How to set up Firewall?)

[lizardidi]

Good day, TCL Forumers!

In 32 bit TCL, we set up firewall using a scripts from iptables.tcz... How about TCL64? In 64 bit version, there is an extension named Firewalld. Upon downloading and loaded the extension, i tried to start Firewalld according to the instruction in tce-load:

sudo firewalld

An error occured which is dbus module not found.

So I start dbus with:

sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start

Now dbus is running, but I still get the dbus not running error, and Firewalld is not starting.

Well, I must have done some steps wrong. The topic about Firewalld on this forum is scarce... Can someone shine some light for me regarding how to set up a proper firewall for basic home computing tasks. Found 2 results from google search about Firewalld for tinycore forum:

https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,23732.15.html

https://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,21180.0.html


Both topics did not provide enough details to set up firewalld.

I would happily accept any other suggestions, other than firewalld, if there's other. A search for UFW in repo return negative result.

Hi lizardidi. I'm sure iptables.tcz is available in every TCL version. 64-bit repo also has nftables.tcz. I personally use nftables for firewall and am very happy with it.
