Now it seems the firewall is stopping freshclam to download updates.
Stop the firewall from dropping the packets?
Turned firewall off with "sudo zs firewall stop" and run the command
"freshclam".
Now all the files "main.cvd", "daily.cvd", "bytecode.cvd" and "mirrors" was
rapidly and successfully updated.
After I turned the firewall on again.
Changes are obviously needed in iptables and/or firewall but don't know
what.
First you need to learn about TCP/IP. This list is not the right place.
I suggest you start with something like the 'Networking concepts HOWTO'
and the 'Packet Filtering HOWTO', which are very old but which contain
much which is still relevant. You can find them, and some other useful
documents about networking, in several languages, here:
https://www.netfilter.org/documentation/
There are many other sources of useful information about networking,
but please try to stay away from 'quick fixes'. You need to build
your understanding of what you are doing; if you simply follow a few
instructions you will not learn very much, and you risk both leaving
your systems vulnerable to attack and giving the gift of a free tool
to criminals who will abuse your systems. In other words you will
become part of the problem.
Please do not underestimate the task ahead of you. You will need to
do at least many weeks of study before you can attain any proficiency
in firewall management.
