I installed apt-proxy some time ago and didn't quite get it to work and then didn't have the time to follow up. I believe this is because I don't really know what it does. I read all the documentation which told me what to do but since I don't really know what it does when something went wrong I didn't how to logically think about fixing it. This is exactly the problem I have with iptables even though with help I was able to get a simple firewall.
I am an experienced programmer and I will consider reading the source but can anyone suggest somewhere that explains how these things actually work?
