iptables #2

Open Lanchon opened 10 years ago

iptables blocking is a mess. searches for command line text!

why do we need to block iptables? i would suppose it requires root to operate in a way that has global effect.

i would like to remove this iptables hack altogether. anybody has a reason not to?

Don't know if this makes sense but,...Is it possible to watch the iptables binary instead? If it is run,...check for rule changes then, re-apply rules if needed.

Perhaps using FileObserver...

Lanchon commented 10 years ago

to what end? can you do anything useful with iptables if you are not root? because if you are root you can just go ahead and disable OpenPDroid or whatever.

openpdroid support for iptables is a joke. i should just remove it i think. i don't see the point.

Like I said, "Don't know if it makes sense"...

Anyway, some useful apps need root e.g. backup apps, greenify etc. This might just stop such app altering iptable rules surreptitiously.

Feel free to remove BTW. I am aware root app can do a lot more than tweak iptable rules.

there is no stopping a root app.
