Re: iptables and apt-get

[Marc Demlenne <m.demlenne@skynet.be>]

Hi !

It depends how you fetch your packages. Ftp or http ?
You have thus to open either the 80(http) or 21(ftp) port as well. Maybe
you can also limit this to your mirror only, and not to everybody.

Note: If you log the packets you drop, you can take a look on the logs,
and you'll see why your connexion is blocked...

Hoping this helps you.
