Description D. Wagner 2010-01-13 17:54:41 UTC

Description of problem:

I use privoxy as my web proxy for all web browsing.  The SELinux policy for privoxy frequently (like, once a week or more) prevents me from accessing various legitimate sites that I want to visit.  The reason: because the sites use a URL with a port other than port 80.  In other words, they are of the form http://domain.example.com:NNN/... for some numeric value NNN.

Suggestion: Revise the privoxy security policy to allow network access to all TCP ports on remote hosts.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2010-01-13 19:35:55 UTC

Turn on the privoxy_connect_any boolean

setsebool -P privoxy_connect_any 1

I guess we can turn this on by default.

Comment 2 D. Wagner 2010-01-13 19:49:50 UTC

Yes, this fixes it for me:

setsebool -P privoxy_connect_any 1

Yes, this should go into the default policy.  I've re-opened this bug to indicate that it's a defect in the default policy and the ticket shouldn't be closed until the default policy is fixed to add this to the default; I hope that's OK.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2010-01-13 19:56:40 UTC

I have changed it to the default in F13.  

Miroslav could you add the line

# Allow privoxy to connect to all ports, not justHTTP, FTP, and Gopher ports.
# 
privoxy_connect_any = true

To booleans-targeted.conf

This will only change it on Fresh Installs.  We never change boolean settings on updates.
