Description Edward d'Auvergne 2013-06-02 22:01:50 CEST

Description of problem:

Shorewall blocks all outbound traffic on tun0.  This renders vpnc and similar software (e.g. Citric receiver) completely unusable without many clues as to the problem.  The fix is simple:  Add the following line to the end of the file /etc/shorewall/interfaces:

net	tun0	detect

This took a huge amount of time to work out what was happening!  I suggest this be added to the Mageia 3 Errata.  The firewall configuration, which is broken anyway (https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10155), should recognise and deal with the non-permanent tun0 interface as it used to.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Connect to a server with vpnc.
2.  Watch the computer being blocked from all internet access (HTTP, SSH, everything).
3.

Comment 1 Marja Van Waes 2015-03-31 16:04:43 CEST

Mageia 3 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status 4 months ago.
http://blog.mageia.org/en/2014/11/26/lets-say-goodbye-to-mageia-3/ 

Mageia 3 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
