Modify Kicksecure User Firewall Settings

Note: If no changes have yet been made to Whonix Firewall Settings, then the Whonix User Firewall Settings File /etc/kicksecure_firewall.d/50_user.conf appears empty (because it does not exist). This is expected.

If using Kicksecure inside Qubes, complete these steps.
In Kicksecure AppVM. Make sure folder /usr/local/etc/kicksecure_firewall.d exists.

sudo mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/kicksecure_firewall.d

Qubes App Launcher (blue/grey "Q") → Kicksecure AppVM (commonly called kicksecure) → Whonix User Firewall Settings

If using a graphical Kicksecure, complete these steps.

Start Menu → Applications → System → User Firewall Settings

If using a terminal-only Kicksecure, complete these steps.

Open /usr/local/etc/kicksecure_firewall.d/50_user.conf with root rights.

sudoedit /usr/local/etc/kicksecure_firewall.d/50_user.conf

The Whonix Global Firewall Settings File /etc/kicksecure_firewall.d/30_whonix_workstation_default.conf contains default settings and explanatory comments about their purpose.

The file contains an explanatory comment on how to change firewall settings.

## Please use "/etc/kicksecure_firewall.d/50_user.conf" for your custom configuration,
