It is indeed part of updates-proxy, which I assume you have enabled in
sys-net.
Sphere reports the rule allowing "coming from anywhere" - if this is o
then they must override the default - as haaber reports the default rule
allows traffic originating from the vif+ interfaces.
I guess this is a hangover from 3.2, as templates now use qubes-rpc,
but it does allow you to use proxy settings in your qubes and perform
package updates/installs.
