My freedombox has one physical network cable plugged in, is behind a router,
and is not publicly accessible. (I did have OpenVPN enabled, with my router
port-forwarding 1194 to the freedombox, but I've disabled that.)
Maybe what happened is:
- I enabled OpenVPN, which caused "FreedomBox WAN" to go to zone external;
- I disabled OpenVPN, and "FreedomBox WAN" was incorrectly left in zone
external, leaving networking in an inconsistent state.
That's fine, I can manually return FreedomBox WAN to zone internal:
[freedombox]$ firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=internal --add-interface=enp1s0
The interface is under control of NetworkManager, setting zone to 'internal'.
success
And now nc can connect, and the firewall works.
Thanks for the assistance!
