#4423: Orbot flushes all foreign iptables rules
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: aribns | Owner: n8fr8
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: normal | Milestone:
Component: Orbot | Version: Tor: unspecified
Keywords: iptables | Parent:
Points: | Actualpoints:
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Regardless of whether transparency proxy is enabled or not, all foreign
iptables rules get flushed when connecting or disconnecting to/from Tor.
Iptables chains stay untouched.
This is a big problem when using iptables based firewalls like "DroidWall"
or "LBE Privacy Guard".
Example 1:
A internet access blocked application (a game, google location service,
etc.) gets unblocked as soon as Orbot connects/disconnects to Tor.
Example 2:
A application should just be able to communicate through Tor. iptables
related firewall blocks it. But Orbot's transparency proxy should allow
it.
This still occures on the latest RC build:
"Orbot-1.0.6-Tor-0.2.3.7-alpha-RC3"
