Hi!

When I run opera with firejail command in terminal, terminal shows me:

Warning: networking feature is disabled in Firejail configuration file

Internet is working in Opera Browser.

How can I fix that?

This may be caused by restricted-network yes in /etc/firejail/firejail.config. I think it doesn't affect --dns option so you may ignore it. If for some reason you want to get rid of that message, please set restricted-network yes in above config file.

I set
restricted-network no

and the error is gone in terminal (output)

Can I leave it to 'no' or better to yes?

My internet is working with both: 'yes+no'

firejail.config:

# Enable or disable restricted network support, default disabled. If enabled,
# networking features should also be enabled (network yes).
# Restricted networking grants access to --interface, --net=ethXXX and
# --netfilter only to root user. Regular users are only allowed --net=none.

restricted-network = yes means that a normal use can't use --interface, --eth (except of --net=none) and --netfilter. If you need no one of this, you can set it to yes without issues (and harden your system a little bit more).
