• Bug#1103496: opensnitch: Restarting daemon cut IRC connections

    From Petter Reinholdtsen@21:1/5 to All on Fri Apr 18 08:50:01 2025
    Package: opensnitch
    Version: 1.6.8-7

    When restarting the OpenSnitch daemon, for example on package upgrades
    but also when running 'service opensnitch restart', the IRC connections
    are reset and my hexchat IRC client need to reconnect to the IRC
    servers. The client reports this when the connection is lost:

    * Disconnected (Software caused connection abort)

    This do not happen with a ssh connection to a machine on my local
    network, so it do not seem to affect all TCP connections.

    The IRC resets are very annoying and causes noise on the channels where
    I am a member. I expect all existing TCP connections to stay connected
    when restarting the OpenSnitch daemon.

    Control: retitle -1 opensnitch: Restarting daemon cut IRC and SSH connections

    I just discovered that while ssh connections to a machine on the local
    ethernet survive a opensnitch restart, a ssh connection to machine
    outside the local network do not. I thus start to suspect it kill all
    TCP connections going to outside the local network.
