I stumbled across this bug because the firewall DOES seem to be persistent in the latest version (1.0.3-6ubuntu4). I installed Firestarter, setup a simple firewall, and now it is being applied whenever my wireless connection goes up or down (by NetworkManager, from /etc/network/if-up.d/50firestarter). This is NOT what I want, however. I only want to run the firewall when I explicitly start Firestarter. I only installed it because I wanted to monitor outgoing connections for something I was working on. I agree that it's a security risk if users think the firewall is persistent when it is not, however there needs to be an easy way to disable this persistence.
Realistically, I only want a firewall to be activated when I am logging into a public wifi network or some other condition. It would be great if the activation of Firestarter could be tied into Network Manager so all this was automated somehow. -- Firewall not persistent https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/59647 You received this bug notification because you are a member of MOTU, which is a direct subscriber. -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
