No, but you need to set up the appropriate NAT rules to allow https and
http through.
I run up2date on nearly all of my boxes through a NATing firewall.
Hint: useNoSSLForPackages=1 helps when you use a proxy server.
As long as the proxy handles https, setting enableProxy=1,
and httpProxy=<host>:<port> works for https too. At least
it works for me with my proxy server.
Yes, but https is non-cachable, so you don't get any benefit from going
through a proxy.
There are more benifits though. firewalling for one.
At work I behind one, and use a proxy to get to the rest of the world.
His diagram looked like that's what he was doing. Keeping
the rest of the machines off internet, and NAT so the
network is private.
