What is the right iptables rule to allow apt-get to download programs?
- by anthony01
When I type something like sudo apt-get install firefox, everything work until it asks me:
After this operation, 77 MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]? Y
Then error messages are displayed: Failed to fetch: <URL>
My iptables rules are as follows:
-P INPUT DROP
-P OUTPUT DROP
-P FORWARD DROP
-A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT
-A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
-A OUTPUT -p tcp --sport 80 -m state --state ESTABLISHED -j ACCEPT
What should I add to allow apt-get to download updates?
Thanks
