How do I open a port as outgoing? You're on the right track, but you need more understanding of TCP/IP networking. Above, in the INPUT chain of netfilter, you allow _incoming_ packets, i.e. packets coming in from the network to your machine. To access Red Hat Network, you want outgoing packets _and_ their reply packets to be permitted. That means, allow access to destination port "https" in the OUTPUT chain and allow packets coming in from source port "https" in your INPUT chain. Alternatively, read up on state-based filtering (man iptables > MATCH EXTENSIONS > state, http://www.netfilter.org) -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
