Description Tim Fisken 2005-04-05 23:43:06 UTC
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu 5.04

While the firestarter firewall is running, attempt to open a web browser
connection to www.haloscan.com . The connection will hang and be reported as
blocked in the event log.

Removing the line '72.0.0.0/8' from /etc/firestarter/non-routables allows
connections to www.haloscan.com (72.9.234.77), which leads me to believe that
some routable addresses are incorrectly being listed as non-routable
Comment 1 Chris Gianelloni 2005-12-02 02:09:17 UTC
72.0.0.0/8 was assigned to ARIN in Aug 04
Comment 2 Chris Gianelloni 2005-12-02 02:11:07 UTC
I forgot to mention that the current IANA address space assignments can be found
at http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space

This list doesn't go into the subclasses for things 127 and above, but it is a
helpful guide.
Comment 3 Paul Drain 2006-04-12 01:53:38 UTC
Mostly Fixed in CVS. The IANA blocklist usually gets updated each major release, i'll attach a patch which updates the current CVS tree with the latest assignments as of 01-03-2006, which will hopefully go into the next patch release. 

Thank you for your bug report.

firestarter development has been stalled and it has been unmaintained for a few years now. I contacted Tomas Junnonen (majix@iki.fi) because he is listed as Developer on project page but didn't get any response. I found firestarter on fedora wiki [1] under deprecated packages so i am closing all the bugs as WONTFIX. Please feel free to reopen the bugs in future if anyone takes the responsibility for active development.
