Hello,

I want to understand the purpose of a service that I found on my personal
PC. it's mason.service, I am troubleshooting, some services and it shows
the following output with systemctl status mason.service:

● mason.service - LSB: Starts the mason firewall script

I read on the web and it suggests that it works when one uses a firewall in
the middle of the network to administrate. I don't have a firewall, it's a
simple personal PC, but I would like to confirm if this is a service that
is working for no reason on my personal PC; otherwise, does it have a
different purpose?
