Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/915

I am on gentoo hardened and have the problem that --net=eth0 (in my special case --net=enp4s0) only works as root, but not as regular user.

Firejail claims: "Error: only --net=none is allowed to non-root users"

Therefore it is impossible to start firefox with a separate network-stack.

Thanks in advance
Kalle

You want to build without the useflag network-restricted then you can run --net= with a normal user.
