[2]	If you use FireWall service, it needs to modify FireWall settings manually because incoming requests for services are mostly not allowed by default. Refer to here for basic Firewall operation and settins (CentOS Stream 9). Configuration examples of Fedora 37 on this site are based on the environment Firewalld service is always enabled.
[3]	If you don't need FireWall service because of some reasons like that some FireWall Machines are running in your Local Netowrk or others, it's possbile to stop and disable FireWall service on Fedora server like follows.

# stop service

[root@localhost ~]#

systemctl stop firewalld

# disable service
