Your belief is incorrect. The default config has not changed (which is
why I asked you to post it).

The default is *not* to allow access from all hosts.
Uncomment that last quoted line, or add a line:-
allowed_hosts=$my_subnet (replace that with the actual subnet)
OR
allowed_hosts=$my_laptop (replace that with the static IP address of
your laptop)
OR just uncomment it and rely on no port forwarding from your firewall
to restrict connections to your LAN

It's not a bug.
I suggest you read comments in /etc/apt-cacher/apt-cacher.conf, and if
that isn't clear enough - try "man apt-cacher".
Kind regards
