Security Details

In order for ProxyPing to be able to do its work, the snap has to be allowed to use the following plugs:

• network-observe: Obtain permission to execute the ping binary. See here for details.

• network-bind: Obtain permission to bind to the port PORT to provide the API interface.

These plugs are pre-configured for the snap. However, only the network-bind plug is automatically connected. The other plug has to be connected manually. See Above.
