in Vici Box there is similar method which I believe to share here
In the realm of Vici Box, a comparable method beckons, and it’s a knowledge nugget I’m eager to share.
Banish the notion of commencing from absolute scratch; commence with the standard Vicibox as your canvas. Navigate through the intricacies via the “yast firewall” avenue. Here, the strategic move involves deactivating all sanctioned services and unearthing open ports.
What transpires is a realm where “nobody is allowed in,” providing you the canvas to selectively admit IPs under the “custom” umbrella. Tailor your allowances, encompassing both TCP and UDP for agent IP locations, reserving TCP exclusively for administrative screens, and allocating UDP solely for the domain of “just phones.
“However, a caveat stands—remember to disable ping. While nestled within a configuration file, its influence may also lurk within the realms of yast, though this is a path we’ve yet to traverse (opting to navigate the config file directly).
Feel the assurance of a system sculpted to your preferences, where access is a privilege granted with discernment.
