!!! warning "This Process Is Deprecated"

As of Rocky Linux 9.0, `iptables` and all of the utilities associated with it, are deprecated. This means that future releases of the OS will be removing `iptables`. For that reason, it is highly recommended that you not use this process. If you are familiar with iptables, we recommend using [`iptables` Guide To `firewalld`](firewalld.md). If you are new to firewall concepts, then we recommend [`firewalld` For Beginners](firewalld-beginners.md).

## Introduction

_firewalld_ is now the default firewall on Rocky Linux. _firewalld_ **was** nothing more than a dynamic application of _iptables_ using xml files that loaded changes without flushing the rules in CentOS 7/RHEL 7. With CentOS 8/RHEL 8/Rocky 8, _firewalld_ is now a wrapper around _nftables_. It is still possible, however, to install and use straight _iptables_ if that is your preference. To install and run straight _iptables_ without _firewalld_ you can do so by following this guide. What this guide will **not** tell you is how to write rules for _iptables_. It is assumed that if you want to get rid of _firewalld_, you must already know how to write rules for _iptables_.

## Disabling firewalld

You can't really run the old _iptables_ utilities alongside _firewalld_. They're just not compatible. The best way to get around this is to disable _firewalld_ entirely (no need to unistall it unless you want to), and reinstall the _iptables_ utilities. Disabling _firewalld_ can be done using these commands:
