Re: forbid internet access to an application?


Bear with me I'm rather new to this. Are you trying to block
applications from your user's side or from the cloud?
From your user's side - wouldn't it be possible to use rlogin (or
some other method to remote login) to the host and allow Internet access
only from/through the host? If so, wouldn't it also be true you could
set the user/group rights (privileges) to permit only those programs
which match the user/group privileges? That is make ping a root only
executable so no other user/group can execute/use it.
Please excuse me if I missed your point.

My question was if it's possible to block only some application/files from
using the network, while using the desktop normally.
As for now, to me it seems the only option could be through selinux (but I'm
not sure), and then I should learn how to set it up under gentoo...
