port 53 open

Hi everyone,
hope you guys are doing well.

is there a chance in vyos to get all ports closed/filtered from outside so that only port 22/tcp is open?

i configured the vyos router via zone Policy. Regarding to the configuration, only port 22/tcp should be open.

But a scan with nmap shows the following ports as open

Port State Service
22/tcp open ssh
53/tcp open tcpwrapped
135/tcp filtered msrpc
139/tcp filtered netbios-ssn
445/tcp filtered microsoft-ds

Hope someone can give me a good advice

best regards
Jean

What is your config?

I’m not using zoning but I think a zone is being applied for traffic passing through (iptables FORWARD chain) VyOS by default. The configuration allows you to set a zone to ‘local-zone’. Can you try to apply this?

Thinking of how the firewall is implemented (in/out/local) compared to iptables (forward in/forward out/input) this would make sense.
