Conflicting iptables rules

bmeneg opened this issue · comments

It seems some startup services may add conflicting rules to the system against Nipe:

$ ./nipe.pl start
...
$ ./nipe.pl status
[!] ERROR: sorry, it was not possible to establish a connection to the server.
$ curl https://check.torproject.org/api/ip
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: check.torproject.org

A solution I found was to completely flush iptables rules before nipe set its own rules:

$ ./nipe.pl stop
# iptables -F
$ ./nipe.pl start
...
$ curl https://check.torproject.org/api/ip
{"IsTor":true,"IP":"46.165.245.154"}
$ ./nipe.pl status
[+] Status: activated. 
[+] Ip: 87.118.116.103

One problem with this solution is the possible future conflicts we may have against other apps on the system. I'm don't really know how iptables works, so any help is welcome!

Just fyi, this issue reflects the same behavior found in issue #49 .

wow, i was trying for months to get a connection ! Thank u so much my friend @bmeneguele
