    gvfsd-http How to block with AppArmor or iptables?

    **note to Moderaters - this is not a dupe of my General Discussion thread - this is specifically about blocking the actions of this process, not what it does

    I noticed this in my process recently list:
    /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-http --spawner :1.6 /org/gtk/gvfs/exec_spaw/2

    It seems to make various outbound network requests. So far my searching has failed to educate me as to what it is up to so I want to block its connectivity.

    Using either Apparmor or iptables is there a way to deny this process network access?

    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for googling for me, unsurprisingly I had already done that and read a great deal including the link you posted. Oddly the bug report link within the page you linked gives me this:
    Code:
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/571970
    
    Secure Connection Failed
    An error occurred during a connection to bugs.launchpad.net.
    The OCSP server experienced an internal error.
    (Error code: sec_error_ocsp_server_error)
    
    The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified.
    Please contact the web site owners to inform them of this problem. Alternatively, use the command found in the help menu to report this broken site.
    Anyway, none of the information I found actually detailed what gvfsd-http does. But that wasn't the point of this thread - I was just asking how to block it.
