I want to reset the rules to Fedora default and start over.

Please help.

Thanks in advance!

That one works on Fedora Workstation.

How about on Silverblue?

Assuming your active zone is FedoraWorkstation:

firewall-cmd --load-zone-defaults=FedoraWorkstation --permanent
firewall-cmd --reload

firewall-cmd --load-zone-defaults=FedoraWorkstation --permanent

Error: NO_DEFAULTS: FedoraWorkstation

From the man page:

--permanent --load-zone-defaults=zone
    Load zone default settings or report NO_DEFAULTS error.

Did you made any changes to the FedoraWorkstation zone? With the default configuration, I get the same error, but after adding some services, it works fine. I tried it with Fedora Workstation (not Silverblue)

@SampsonF, perhaps you should create a separate thread how to reinstall a package in Silverblue.

@ersen, unfortunately that method is not so reliable:

  • Possibly altered service definitions, direct rules, IP sets, etc. require manual rollback.
  • File ownership/permissions and SELinux labels may be incorrect.
  • Firewalld own service config may be customized.
  • RPM scripts may need to be reapplied.

Done.

Yes, for those zones with modifications, I got a success return. For those I do not change, I got the error return.
