The default zone essentially disables the firewall, without disabling it. It doesn't provide any real security. I don't want to pester devs either, which is something fixing this would have little effect on. https://xkcd.com/1172/ There IS a satisfactory GUI to manage the firewall. If I recall correctly, it's literally called "firewall-gui". -- John M.
