I haven't written any iptables rules in like 5-6 years, so I barely remember. I am gonna wait for an expert to chime in and correct this, as I am also interested in it, but by looking at the document you provided [1], I'd think it's something along the following lines (probably a similar INPUT rule should be added, not sure..): * Enable UDP connections to anywhere on any port; or -A OUTPUT -p udp -j ACCEPT * Enable TCP connections to anywhere on port 443. -A OUTPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j ACCEPT On Wed, Apr 25, 2012 at 12:49 PM, Bill Sun <cap.sensitive@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > I just tried to use google voice to contact someone, after 2 'dialing > sounds', I couldn't hear anything.
