Description Michael S. 2011-11-19 10:11:09 UTC
openvpn network manager plugin permit to connect to a socks server ( or http ), and so does openvpn. yet, it seems selinux prevent connexion to port labelled tor_t as seen in this avc :

[root@liliana selinux]# grep 1321695318.818:1969 /var/log/audit/audit.log

Comment 1 Michael S. 2011-11-19 12:13:54 UTC
Mhh, it seems that I left several important point. 

What I attempted to do is to use openvpn over tor, with a server listening on port 443/tcp. The problem is due to some DPI gateway preventing me to using openvpn ( I do not have much more info on the network, that's wifi for some free software events in south of france, and the admin are not here ). So I fired tor in regular client mode ( ie, default configuration ), and said to network-manager to use a socks proxy for openvpn, on localhost 9050. Tor open a tcp connexion on port 9050, and speak socks5 protocol. 

So for more granularity, maybe the different type of port should be splitted, ie tor_socks_port_t, etc, so we can let openvpn connect to it, but not to the others ( openvpn or others, since polipo or polipo for example can also connect to tor with socks ).

Comment 2 Daniel Walsh 2011-11-23 16:28:20 UTC
You believe that port 9050 should be labeled socks_port_t and then allow all apps that can currently use tor_port_t could then use socks_port_t, correct?

Comment 3 Michael S. 2011-11-23 22:24:58 UTC
Yep, sorry if I was not clear :/
