[hobbit] monitor a series oAt work we use strict iptables rules, so what exceptions need to be made to get hobbit working? Do I need to allow traffic on port 1984 from the server to the client, client to the server, or both? Also do I need to allow both TCP and UDP traffic on that connection? Iptables

In "normal" mode, the hobbit clients send information TO the server on 
TCP port 1984.  If you use hobbitfetch then you need to allow outbound 
TCP port 1984 to the clients. Hobbit does not use UDP for anything.
