Package: gogoc
Version: 1:1.2-2
Severity: wishlist

Hello!

From what I can see, the gogo client currently when put in a 'router' mode in
the linux.sh template tries to generate a radvd.conf, then kill and restart
radvd at will. I consider this to be an obnoxious and unnecessary intrusion
into proper operation of another unrelated package - I might have had my own
radvd setup, of which the tunnel provided by gogoc is only a small part.

It also silently enables forwarding, not warning the user that they might also
want to set up ip6tables. So the internal network becomes completely exposed
without proper firewalling rules on the gateway in place.

My conclusion is that the 'linux.sh' script currently does way too much
automation, assuming it 'knows better' what the user wants. And among this, it
does things which are plain dangerous, not warning about them.

I suggest adding a configuration file option to set whether or not linux.sh
should control RADVD and configure forwarding, and have that option off by
default.
