Add support for direct rules in ansible.posix.firewalld
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.
