I think I found a solution!
I uninstalled (purged) it. And then downloaded and installed the files from here, version: 1.6.6 Which seems to work Ping seems to work normally now, without having to disable the firewall.
Can the version in Debian's repository be updated to this one, that seems to work? I much prefer to have it installed from Debian's repository so I can easily be notified when there's an update and update to it.
BTW, the uninstall (purge) command probably doesn't work correctly, at least as I expected it, by removing not only the rules, but also the settings that I previously made and the tab that I have selected last time I had it open. Not a big problem, but I think that when a program is uninstalled in the purge way, everything should be removed so that if it's reinstalled, it will look and behave like it was the first time being installed.
hey @Danny3 !
iptables not available: exec: "iptables": executable file not found in $PATH
This may be the reason of the issue. Check where is the iptables
binary: whereis iptables
or command -v iptables
as root.
And see if the path is added to $PATH.

If I'm still on time to do it yes. I haven't had all the free time I expected this year.
The 'ping' command is blocked I was trying to ping another computer on my LAN with the following command: ping 192.168.1.2 Which gave this output: PING 192.168.1.2 (192.168.1.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
Here the above message stays unchanged for a long time, until I press CTRL+C, which then shows: --- 192.168.1.2 ping statistics --- 60 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 60423ms
After spending 2-3 hours on the other computer to see what is going on, I moved to the firewall and deleted all rules to see if I blocked ping by mistake and see the pop-up again, but the pop-up is never shown when the ping command is executed.
Include the following information:
6.10.9-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.10.9-1 (2024-09-08) x86_64 GNU/Linux
To Reproduce Install the firewall from Debian's repository with a command like: sudo apt install opensnitch
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Post error logs: There are no error logs, as far as I can see. Except this one in the [2m[2024-09-20 10:04:37][0m [97m[43m WAR [0m iptables not available: exec: "iptables": executable file not found in $PATH
Expected behavior (optional) Ping command not blocked, as always. This is the first time in years when I see that is blocked.
Additional context I saw another open issue about ping being blocked by having Firefox open. I don't use Firefox, but LibreWolf and I tried to close it for testing, but doesn't solve this problem. Only pausing the firewall solves the problem.
Any idea what could be the problem here or what more should I try?
Thank you!
