I find HTTP much easier to use and debug. It might be slightly different
now that NFS is using TCP. But only having to ask for tcp/80 to be opened
in one direction and being able to check a log-file for troubleshooting is
worth my time :)
The same firewall rule is then used for installing updates using apt
(although in some environments we set up a remote tunnel using SSH).
Kind regards,
