Description

Hello,

as good this app is, the documentation is lacking.

Took a while to install on Linux Mint 20, luckily someone provided a working solution in the issues.
but that is besides the point, the problem is as follows:

I switched opensnitch into using TCP socket, so in theory it should be accessible from anywhere. However I cannot access it even locally but from another cinnamon session. This particular installation is actually a VM and I access it via XRDP.

Due to various issues it is not reliable to use the same session for both console and xrdp access (for instance ubuntu gnome definitely has problems there) so instead xrdp actually creates a session when logging for the first time.

Strangely it seems you can use opensnitchUI only in one session. If you start onepsnitchUI in console session and then login remotely to a new session, then onensnithUI does not connect to the service. Still, if you dont create a console session and login remotely as an exclusive cinnamon session then everything is good and opensnitch UI works as expected.

Suggestions?
