Run the YaST control center firewall utility.

Use the Options menu to select the zone for your connection type.

Select the zone in the active bindings window, the select it in the zones column.

At the top, change the configuration to Runtime (changes lost on reboot) or Permanent (permanent changes).

You can turn a service on/off in the services listing.

You can open ports by going to the ports tab, clicking +Add and enter the port number and protocol.

Changes are applied immediately.

You can also use the command line.

with “systemctl [stop|disable] firewalld” you can switch it off, temporarily or permanently.

And with “firewall-cmd” you can open ports and do all kinds of configuration changes:
