Title: Allowing apt-get through the firewall Post by: niksonuk on Saturday 10 April 2010, 11:44:45 pm Hi I'm new to Endian but have installed a v2.3 firewall and i am loving it so far.
The only issue that I am having is that I have been unable to allow access to apt-get for linux users. I have created a outbound firewall rule to allow all outbound traffic from the Green interface to the Red interface and this is working. I have been unable to find a way to create a rule to allow "established" inbound traffic in through the firewall to allow apt to update. Any help on this issue would be really appreciated. Thanks Title: Re: Allowing apt-get through the firewall Post by: Steve on Sunday 11 April 2010, 12:48:03 am It depends on what flavour of linux you are running, generally you may need to edit your apt.conf file - in particular the http_proxy variable.
Ask your linux uses to consult their manual regarding the correct syntax for using apt-get behind a proxy for their flavour of linux.

It turned out that there was a problem with apt on the laptop I was testing as it was running ubuntu 10.04 Beta!!! When I tried from another machine in the afternoon it was all OK.
