Kicksecure Network Configuration

Wasn’t ever and isn’t installed in KS already.

Easy. Going to be a dependency of already existing kicksecure-network-conf package.

It’s already implemented. Once it’s figured out the packaging / build is easy.

What’s missing:

  • install which (DHCP) package(s) with --no-install-recommends?
  • replace all contents of /etc/network/interfaces.d/30_kicksecure with
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

?

  • Or is no /etc/network/interfaces.d/ config drop-in file at all required? Even better.
  • DHCP vs DNS?
  • Bonus:
    • Go extra mile of not only DHCP but also network manager?
      • DHCP pacakge going to be compatible with network manager?

During testing probably easiest (after installation of a DHCP package) to undo all changes by kicksecure-network-conf (which also sets up /etc/resolv.conf for DNSCrypt) to make non-DNSCrypt, standard DNS work.

sudo dpkg --force-all --purge kicksecure-network-conf
