-# Enabling iptables Firewall
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- A burning, unquenchable desire to disable the default *firewalld* application, and enable *iptables*.
-
-!!! warning "This Process Is Deprecated"
-
-    As of Rocky Linux 9.0, `iptables` and all of the utilities associated with it, are deprecated. This means that future releases of the OS will be removing `iptables`. For that reason, it is highly recommended that you do not use this process. If you are familiar with iptables, we recommend using [`iptables` Guide To `firewalld`](firewalld.md). If you are new to firewall concepts, then we recommend [`firewalld` For Beginners](firewalld-beginners.md).
-
-## Introduction
-
-*firewalld* is now the default firewall on Rocky Linux. *firewalld* **was** nothing more than a dynamic application of *iptables* using xml files that loaded changes without flushing the rules in CentOS 7/RHEL 7.  With CentOS 8/RHEL 8/Rocky 8, *firewalld* is now a wrapper around *nftables*. It is still possible, however, to install and use straight *iptables* if that is your preference. To install and run straight *iptables* without *firewalld* you can do so by following this guide. What this guide will **not** tell you is how to write rules for *iptables*. It is assumed that if you want to get rid of *firewalld*, you must already know how to write rules for *iptables*.
-
-## Disabling firewalld
-
-You can't really run the old *iptables* utilities alongside *firewalld*. They're just not compatible. The best way to get around this is to disable *firewalld* entirely (no need to uninstall it unless you want to) , and reinstall the *iptables* utilities. Disabling *firewalld* can be done using these commands:
-
-Stop *firewalld*:
-
-`systemctl stop firewalld`
-
-Disable *firewalld* so it won't start on boot:
-
-`systemctl disable firewalld`
-
-Mask the service so that it can't be found:
-
-`systemctl mask firewalld`
-
-## Installing And Enabling iptables Services
-
-Next, we need to install the old *iptables* services and utilities. This is done with the following:
-
-`dnf install iptables-services iptables-utils`
-
-This will install everything that is needed to run a straight *iptables* rule set.
-
-Now we need to enable the *iptables* service to make sure that it starts on boot:
-
-`systemctl enable iptables`
-
-## Conclusion
-
-You can return to using straight *iptables* if you prefer it over *firewalld*. You can return to using the default *firewalld* by simply reversing these changes.
