That's an iptables rule (a firewall rule). It goes in whatever file you use to save your iptables rules, in my case /etc/iptables-save What does that rule mean? simple. If network traffic is coming from localhost, going to localhost (like a local app connecting to a local server) and the protocol used is TCP, then it must be allowed. Apparently OO tries to connect to a local server of some sort, and if the connection attempt is blocked, then it does not continue loading until a timeout is reached... Damian
