firewall-config for GUI operation. firewalld comes with a command line
(and scriptable) tool called firewall-cmd. firewall-config is designed
for serious firewalling, so it is likely more complicated than your
router's firewall.
I think it is good practice to run firewalls on my internal network.
Partly for the practice, partly for laptops and other machines that may
travel to other, more hostile networks, partly on the off chance that a
hostile computer ever got onto my network, and partly because I don't
trust my commercial external router.
