Add support for direct rules in ansible.posix.firewalld

Open mbx64 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

SUMMARY

ansible.posix.firewalld already supports rich rules to be able to configure more detailed rules. But all current settings only apply to INBOUND traffic. To be able to also control OUTBOUND traffic, we need support for direct rules.

ISSUE TYPE
  • Feature Idea
COMPONENT NAME

firewalld

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

In the past, there already has been a lot of effort to implement direct rules. There were almost finished PRs, but the activity died probably due to delayed reviewing and through multiple migrations of firewalld from ansible to community.general and then to ansible.posix.

I'm hoping for a revival of the good efforts on this topic from the past.
