Hello all41,
thank you for answering.
running firejail --overlay-tmpfs firefox
will mount a filesystem overlay on top of the current filesystem. All filesystem modifications go into the overlay, and are discarded when the sandbox is closed.
I am running Mint as VB guest (host is slackware) alongside other guests: funtoo, devuan, slackware.
I do not have internet connection problems with other guests running firefox in firejail in the same fashion.
thank you

Re: firejail --overlay disables firefox internet connection
Maybe it is the DNS setting, try this command:
Also, do a "netstat -rn" inside the sandbox, just to make sure the default gateway is configured.
To disable network namespace use --net=none:
Code: Select all
$ firejail --noprofile --overlay --dns=8.8.8.8To disable network namespace use --net=none:
Code: Select all
$ firejail --net=noneRe: firejail --overlay disables firefox internet connection
Thank you Elizine
adding --dns=x.x.x.x
helped
interesting aspects:
Mint is the only VB guest having this issue
evidently not all directives are causing the problem:
firefail --seccomp --noprofile firefox
works without specifying gateway.
these do not work:
firefail --overlay firefox
firefail --overlay-tempfs firefox
firefail --net-none firefox
adding --dns=x.x.x.x
firefail --overlay-tempfs --dns=x.x.x.x firefox
works
evidently for some directives I have to specify gateway. Not sure why.
I would assume that this has some to do with my specific setup that Mint does not like although same setup works for other virtual guests.
Thank you again
