Hello
I want to create new zone to allow only SSH connections from IP address
range and DROP everything else.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<zone target="DROP">
<short>TEsting</short>
<description>Testing</description>
<service name="ssh"/>
<source address="123.45.67.89/24" />
</zone>
That IP range is fake, of course. In the real one, I use my IP range,
which is real.
I place that inside /etc/firewalld/zones/testing.xml and the zone gets
listed after reload. The prblem is that ssh is still open for everyone. If
I run nmap from a computer outside that range ("123.45.67.89/24") it says
"open" so firewalld is not blocking it.
What am I doing wrong? Should I use "ACCEPT" instead of "DROP"?
It's because packets not from 123.45.67.89/24 belong to a different zone
(likely the default/public zone) which also has SSH opened.

You can get the desired effect by changing the default zone to something
restrictive like the "block" zone. Then your custom "testing" zone will
handle SSH connections from 123.45.67.89/24.
# firewall-cmd --set-default-zone=block
# firewall-cmd --reload
Be careful doing this remotely as you can easily block yourself out from
SSH.
