Let external traffic past firewalld

Post by rev » 2017/10/20 09:22:38

Hi, I'm a noob with linux server admin. I've got a VPS hosted server running centos 7. It has firewalld installed. Problem is that I can't connect to my nodejs server on there from the outside world. I get the standard browser error saying it can't connect to the server at [my ip]. It's default zone is public. I've attempted to allow http traffic through with:

Code: Select all

firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
firewall-cmd --reload
but that doesn't help. Any ideas?

I sorted this one out. I ended installing nginx to handle all external connections.
