Existing formulations make it easy to draw the conclusion that arbitrary outgoing connections are restricted through the updates proxy. Only if we read further at the Updates Proxy section is it explained that it's an unfiltered escape-hatch.


This attempts at clarifying it a bit.

  • reformulate to makes it less likely to get the false impression that the updates proxy does not allow arbitrary outbound connections
  • add example of how to download software in templates without enabling direct networking
