xdg-dbus-proxy is a filtering proxy for D-Bus connections. It was originally part of the Flatpak project, but it has been broken out as a standalone module to facilitate using it in other contexts, for example in WebKit-GTK’s optional bubblewrap-based sandbox.

For this proxy to be useful, restricted D-Bus clients must be denied access to the normal D-Bus socket (for example by using containers or AppArmor rules), and instead given access to the listening Unix socket created by the proxy (typically by bind-mounting it into a Linux container).
