document firewall behaviour for "no zone assigned"
Last modified: 2017-05-09 10:54:53 UTC
The documentation should say what firewall rules apply when an interface is assigned to the zone "No zone assigned". The following discussions and my own observations suggest that currently the behaviour is the same as if the interface is assigned to the zone "External Zone": https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/518486-In-Yast-no-zone-assigned-to-interface-in-firewall-which-firewall-rules-apply bug #931152 The above forum discussion shows that some users wrongly assume that the "No zone" is always closed, allowing only outgoing connections. If this zone is then used for the public network and the external zone for a more secure but still not fully trusted network, this opens up security issues.
