      Use UFW - uncomplicated firewall. Some distros install it by default. Its very easy to use whereas other firewalls are super complicated

          I dont think so. Both UFW and firewalld are just frontends - they don’t actually do any work themselves. That is all handled by the iptables or the newer nftables kernel modules inside the kernel itself, the major difference will be in what rules they create but both should be able to create the same rules for either of these kernel APIs. UFW is what ubuntu uses by default I believe and firewalld what a lot of other distros use by default.

          No, only the configuration syntax is different. If you know what you’re doing in configuring them both are fine.

      They’re pretty similar but firewalld allows more complex rules without resorting to plain iptables syntax. Try both and see what you like better.
