[PATCH] Firewall initscript: Restore Tor IPTable rules by manual firewall restart

[PATCH] Firewall initscript: Restore Tor IPTable rules by manual firewall restart

[Erik Kapfer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1502 bytes --]

If the firewall will be manually restart via '/etc/init.d/firewall restart',
the IPTable rules for the Tor relay will be deleted since 'iptables_init' only
flushes and creates inbound and unbound chains for Tor but does not restore the
ruleset from Tor initscript.

For reference and tests please see -->

Is this file available even when Tor is not installed?

We might get an error message here if it does not exist.

That´s a bad one, you are absolutely right! Since this is the firewall
script, which way do you prefere in here ?

You can simply wrap the line in an if statement checking if the file is readable:

  if [ -r “/var/ipfire/tor/settings” ]; then
    eval …
  fi

The rest can stay as is.

[PATCH v2] Firewall initscript: Restore Tor IPTable rules by manual firewall restart

[Erik Kapfer]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1556 bytes --]

If the firewall will be manually restart via '/etc/init.d/firewall restart',
the IPTable rules for the Tor relay will be deleted since 'iptables_init' only
flushes and creates inbound and unbound chains for Tor but does not restore the
ruleset from Tor initscript.
