I'm really having a lot of trouble getting consistent results with the
updates proxy. I've managed to break it on Firewall as well, despite only
removing and then re-adding qubes-updates-proxy (as far as I can tell).

Could you please help me by listing the elements required for it to work?

Eg

* TemplateVM
** Firewall page
*** Allow connections to Updates Proxy: checked

* ProxyVM(can be VPN or Firewall)
** Firewall page
*** Allow access to 10.137.255.254:8082 (or just all)
** Services page
*** qubes-updates-proxy listed and checked
*** yum-updates-proxy must not be listed
** Packages
*** tinyproxy (tinyproxy.x86_64) must be installed
** CLI firewall rules
*** Official VPN documentation rules are fine, other rules might cause
problems

* Net
** Must have internet access

Is there anything else?
