Hugo’s blog

A little more work on the Slug’s front… It took me a while to figure out why iTunes could talk to my Slug, and my Roku SoundBridge could not. And the answer is: the default firewall.

I didn’t try to understand what exact rule was the culprit, but the following fixes the issue:

iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT
iptables -P FORWARD ACCEPT
iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT
iptables -F
iptables -X

Since the Slug is behind my NAT anyway, I don’t really need a firewall. I wish I could actually disable the iptables support from the kernel altogether, but it’s not compiled as a module.
