'''Modify {{project_name_workstation_short}} User Firewall Settings'''

'''Note''': If no changes have yet been made to {{project_name_short}} Firewall Settings, then the {{project_name_short}} User Firewall Settings File <code>/etc/whonix_firewall.d/50_user.conf</code> appears empty (because it does not exist). This is expected.

Ensure the VM has sudo access first. If <code>PERSISTENT Mode | SYSMAINT Session</code> is available in some form, you must boot into this mode before these steps will work.

Platform specific. Select your platform.

'''Note: This is for informational purposes only!''' Do not edit <code>/etc/whonix_firewall.d/30_whonix_workstation_default.conf</code>.

The {{project_name_short}} Global Firewall Settings File <code>/etc/whonix_firewall.d/30_whonix_workstation_default.conf</code> contains default settings and explanatory comments about their purpose. By default, the file is opened read-only and is not meant to be directly edited. Below, it is recommended to open the file without root rights. The file contains an explanatory comment on how to change firewall settings.

<pre>
## Please use "/etc/whonix_firewall.d/50_user.conf" for your custom configuration,
## which will override the defaults found here. When {{project_name_short}} is updated, this
## file may be overwritten.
