That checkbox could start out unchecked, but the point is to You're welcome to suggest this to the Debian maintainers but I think you will be rebuffed quite strongly. Debian ostensibly (my opinions about adopting systemd aside) is about choice and this includes at least a dozen different firewall tool suites and wrappers, and you can make your own nftables rules. That Debian does not install any of these by default is not a flaw or a mistake. It is a deliberate design decision. If you disagree so strongly that it interferes with getting Debian working then Debian isn't the distribution for you. I suggest looking at Fedora, openSUSE or Ubuntu. They should meet your firewall requirement. -- \m/ (--) \m/ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
