Description

Kind of related to #533. I use firewalld, which configures the traffic filtering rules via nftables, rather than iptables. Not stopping firewalld or forgetting to move the mpqemubr* interface to the right zone results in problems launching the instances. AFAIK libvirt integrates with firewalld by setting up a separate zone for the bridge interface.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how libvirt integrates with firewalld and implement similar zone configuration for multipass bridge interfaces.
