Right...so I've found that the MAC people are no help for creating rules for me.

My linux box runs at the firewall on my local network. I'm using Shorewall, and I'm trying to create a couple of rules to allow iTunes to work. According to the itunes website, I need to open Ports 80 and 440. Upon further research, those are the standard HTTP and HTTPS ports. Thus I simply added these lines to my rules file:

Code:

AllowWeb  fw  loc
AllowWeb  loc  fw
AllowWeb  fw  net
AllowWeb  net  fw


Alas, I'm still getting 502 errors (Gateway errors).

Has anyone had to get iTunes working behind their linux firewall? Any theories?

Ooops...forgot two. Now it seems to be working. Here's my full list:
Code:

AllowWeb  loc  net
AllowWeb  loc  fw
AllowWeb  fw  net
AllowWeb  fw  loc
AllowWeb  net  fw
AllowWeb  net  loc


So now it seems to be working. But that looks like quite a list. Are any of those lines not necessary or redundant?
