[Freedombox-discuss] Open ports manually (for kodi and kore)

[Jan Costermans]

Hi Andrey,

Restarting the firewall service did the trick.

>> sudo systemctl restart firewalld

 I also see the ports now when running:

>> sudo firewall-cmd --zone=internal --list-ports

and they are also listed in: /etc/firewalld/zones/internal.xml

Thanks for your help!
