There are 2 items that you can check related to the firewall.

1) Check that DefaultZone=external in /etc/firewalld/firewalld.conf.
In case it is different, you can run this command to change it:
$ sudo firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=external

2) It sounds like you may be using 2 interfaces on the FreedomBox, one 
internal and one external. In that case, you will need to create a 
policy that allows forwarding between zones. There are steps listed 
here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2016864#c8

(Found this via a post on the forum:

Hope this helps!
