troubleshooting Trouble using Open Snitch with “Network Lock” enabled. Eddie clients (ui OR cli)

[N8pEtki4 1]

Hello and thanks for this great VPN service!

 

Clients work well until I try to combine a Network Lock with Open Snitch

 

Our browsers and applications constantly spy on our usage, requiring secure users to block these pesky telemetry echos.
A secure connection is not enough.

 

The goal is to have Manjaro (mate) 6.1.62-1 running  “Open Snitch” with the Eddie client fully locked (in/out), no LAN or DNS selected.

Using any of the locking mechanisms available (iptables / nftables)

 

*Question dose not include the use of Hummingbird in the settings.*

 

 

Currently using both the cli (version 2.23.2) and UI (version 2.21.8) of the Eddie client.

IPv6 is disable at the system level via grub entry.

 

**There are two different errors with the same effect just worded differently.**

 

- UI client gives the error

“Unexpected crash of elevated helper: Connection reset by peer”

 

- CLI client gives the error

“Unexpected crash of elevated helper:Network subsystem is down”

Both require disabling and re-enabling "Networking" via NetworkManager in order to communicate again.

 

Open Snitch has 3 selections for process monitoring.

EPBF

Proc

Audit

My current configuration is using “EPBF” as auto selected by Open Snitch install.

 

 

The Error in Question

 

*What is necessary to have these both running in full; so that I can control any web browser telemetry or applications that phone home with Open Snitch. While managing and controlling my LAN/VPN connections with Eddie.

 

There simply is no such thing as online privacy if you cannot stop telemetry and secure your connection with multiple technologies at the same time from one system. The OS.

 

Thank You for any help and have a great weekend.

 

Happy Thanksgiving AirVPN!

Hello!

Do you have Eddie crashing only when Open Snitch is running? In other words, if OpenSnitch is completely shut down, does Eddie run properly or not? Can you also confirm that the OpenSnitch software you mention is the following one:
https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

Kind regards

*Yes Eddie runs as it should untill you un-pause or enable OpenSnitch. 1.6.4-1
*Yes I am running the official from evilsocket installed via "Pamac"
