Yes, firewalld is an independent service but just like the iptables service, both are a front-end to the netfilter packet filtering framework inside the Linux kernel. You should NOT have both iptables and firewalld active, because that’s going to be a mess to manage. Choose either one, and stick with it.

Or it just a tool for configuring iptables? Because in my fedora, when i add permanent ports for http and ssh with firewalld, in my iptables show these rules when i execute iptables -L :

Chain IN_public_allow (1 references)
target prot opt source destination
ACCEPT tcp — anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:http ctstate NEW
ACCEPT tcp — anywhere anywhere tcp dpt:ssh ctstate NEW

And if firewalld is an independent service, when i have rules in both of them (firewalld and iptables), which will be executed first ? whereas iptables is executing rules from top to bottom. I think i still can’t see their differences clearly.
