[Tails-dev] Disabling or changing Firewall settings in Tails…

Dear Tails Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am reaching out to inquire about
the behavior of the firewall and IP tables in Tails OS.

Specifically, I would like to know if disabling the firewall or making
changes to the IP tables is a permanent action or if these settings will
reset upon rebooting the system. I am considering downloading the Monero
blockchain over clearnet (as I'm sure it would take days over Tor) and
want to ensure that I understand the implications of modifying these
settings. I don't want to do this if it is permanent as I was looking
for temporally doing so.

Additionally, I would appreciate your advice on whether it is safe to
disable or change firewall rules with administrative privileges for this
purpose, or if there are any potential risks involved.

Thank you for your assistance, and I look forward to your response.

Best regards,
