Pre-Flight Check

• These instructions are intended specifically for stopping and disabling firewalld CentOS 7.
• I’ll be working from a Liquid Web Self Managed CentOS 7 server, and I’ll be logged in as root.

Disable Firewalld

To disable firewalld, run the following command as root:

systemctl disable firewalld

Stop Firewalld

To stop firewalld, run the following command as root:

systemctl stop firewalld

Check the Status of Firewalld

And finally, to check the status of firewalld, run the following command as root:

systemctl status firewalld

When standard security is not enough, you don’t have to wage war alone. Liquid Web’s Firewall & VPN provides additional server hardening beyond just firewalld. Hardware firewalls provide a strong degree of protection from attacks coming from the outside because they contain their own OS, and operate independently of the server/servers they were designed to protect.
