But when you have a new build or image: CentOS 6 (only VMBitrix) iptables still continues to act as a default network firewall for this CentOS version. Even if the firewalld is forcibly installed on CentOS 6 (command `./bitrix-env-beta.sh -F`), then iptables will still be installed anyway. CentOS 7 (VMBitrix и VMBitrix.CRM) iptables becomes the new default network firewall. Launching the installation script without parameters (`./bitrix-env-beta.sh` or `./bitrix-env-crm-beta.sh`) will install iptables. When the firewalld is required, add the parameter `-F` when installing the package: `./bitrix-env-beta.sh -F` or `./bitrix-env-crm-beta.sh -F`. OpenVZ There are 4 type of network firewall (also known as netfilter) available for OpenVZ environment: disabled, stateless, stateful, full. Using firtewalld in the OpenVZ stateful environment depends on kernel modules that are connected to the system. When the virtual appliance detects errors in the launch of firewalld within the stateful environment, it will forcibly enable iptables. All the rest of cases will use iptables (stateless, disabled).

Note:
Now Iptables will be always used by default for new builds and images.

If you have an old image or build version older than 7.4.0, then nothing will change: iptables for CentOS 6, firewalld for CentOS 7.

But when you have a new build or image:

CentOS 6 (only VMBitrix)
iptables still continues to act as a default network firewall for this CentOS version. Even if the firewalld is forcibly installed on CentOS 6 (command ./bitrix-env-beta.sh -F), then iptables will still be installed anyway.
CentOS 7 (VMBitrix и VMBitrix.CRM)
iptables becomes the new default network firewall. Launching the installation script without parameters (./bitrix-env-beta.sh or ./bitrix-env-crm-beta.sh) will install iptables.
When the firewalld is required, add the parameter -F when installing the package: ./bitrix-env-beta.sh -F or ./bitrix-env-crm-beta.sh -F.
OpenVZ
There are 4 type of network firewall (also known as netfilter) available for OpenVZ environment: disabled, stateless, stateful, full.
Using firtewalld in the OpenVZ stateful environment depends on kernel modules that are connected to the system. When the virtual appliance detects errors in the launch of firewalld within the stateful environment, it will forcibly enable iptables.
All the rest of cases will use iptables (stateless, disabled).
