So, the usecases we've listed are:

  * SSH
  * downloading from / uploading to a FTP server
  * printing a document on a network printer
  * going through whatever steps a captive portal asks me to;
    this generally involves DNS and HTTP


I'm tempted to propose a branch for Tails 1.3 that blocks access to
the LAN except to these ports. However, that's blocked by the planned
changes wrt. "web browsing on the LAN":

https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7774
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7976

I've asked sajolida on #8218 to sum up the discussion that has
happened on tails-ux@ about it.

Cheers,
