This should help with FreedomBox getting authorizations to access firewalld D-Bus API for polkit versions > 0.105 where polkit local authority is not available. Helps #1728. Tests performed: - Install policykit-1 version 0.105. Something like apt install policykit-1=0.105-26 libpolkit-agent-1-0=0.105-26 libpolkit-gobject-1-0=0.105-26 - Visit privoxy page. See internal networks warning with all the interfaces listed properly. - Visit firewalld page, view list of apps and services properly. - Enable privoxy, see the port opened in firewalld page. - Disable privoxy, see the port closed in firewalld page. - Run diagnostics for privoxy see that ports' diagnostics results pass. - Add Debian experimental to /etc/apt/sources.list. apt update. Then install policykit-1 version 0.116. apt install -t experimental policykit-1. - Repeat all above tests.

FreedomBox Service (Plinth)
The core functionality and web front-end of FreedomBox.
Description
FreedomBox is a community project to develop, design and promote personal servers running free software for private, personal communications. It is a networking appliance designed to allow interfacing with the rest of the Internet under conditions of protected privacy and data security. It hosts applications such as blog, wiki, website, social network, email, web proxy and a Tor relay, on a device that can replace your Wi-Fi router, so that your data stays with you.
This module, called FreedomBox Service and also know as Plinth, is the core functionality and web interface to the functions of the FreedomBox. It is extensible and provides various applications of FreedomBox as modules. Each module or application provides simplified user interface to control the underlying functionality. As FreedomBox can act as a wireless router, it is possible to configure networking. It also allows configuration of basic system parameters such as time zone, hostname and automatic upgrades.
You can find more information about FreedomBox Service (Plinth) on the Plinth Wiki page, the FreedomBox Wiki and the FreedomBox Manual.
