Re: iptables and apt-get
I am using http to security.debian.org and mirror.ac.uk. When opening up
port 80(http) it makes no difference. I think this is beacause I am not
running a service to connect i.e. connecting to port 80 on a remote system
from an unprivalged port >1024? Does this mean it will use a different port
every time?

If it helps I am going through a proxy to get to the internet.
