HOSTNAME TYPE ADDRESS/VALUE DISTANCE/PRIO TTL
@ A 192.168.0.1 NA 17027
WWW A 192.168.0.1 NA 17027

firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=80/tcp --permanent  # Open port 80
firewall-cmd --zone=public --add-port=443/tcp --permanent  # Open port 443
firewall-cmd --reload  # Active new added rules

ufw allow 80/tcp  # Open port 80
ufw allow 443/tcp  # Open port 443
systemctl ufw restart  ## Active new rules

/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j ACCEPT
/sbin/iptables -I INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT
/etc/rc.d/init.d/iptables save
/etc/init.d/iptables restart
