J. Mays Note:
Please note that this article is considered legacy documentation because Fedora 21 has reached its end-of-life support.
It is highly recommended that you have another firewall protecting your network or server before, or immediately after, disabling firewalld.
Pre-Flight Check
- These instructions are intended specifically for stopping and disabling firewalld on Fedora 21.
- I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed Fedora 21 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.
- If you are working with Fedora 23, we recommend reading this article.
- If you’re looking for a new server host, check out Liquid Web’s broad selection of server hosting solutions.
