It would be nice to have approx running and configured on a laptop, in
case that I again have need to install Debian outside of my own LAN.  But
that is not very likely.

For installations -- and for updates to machines within the LAN -- I have
been running approx on a desktop machine.  So I would be willing to
uninstall approx on the laptop, if you so advise.

Then, again, this is my first encounter with iptables, and I am finding
this thread interesting.
