This discussion is about firewalls and whether they are necessary. Stating that a firewall is enabled by default is not particularly relevant to the issue of whether it's necessary. Although the presence of a firewall by default may suggest that it is necessary.
I rarely run firewalls on Linux servers. I simply turn off the services I don't need. There have been exceptions, where services are intended for specific geographical regions, and other regions have been blocked to avoid issues, reduce server load or for some other reason. 73 de VK3JED / VK3IRL http://vkradio.com
