Keyserver is used for storing and distributing OpenGPG keys. The Ubuntu project also maintains its own keyserver ( http://keyserver.ubuntu.com ) for distributing public-key to users.

keyserver uses HKP Keyserver protocol which listens on port 11371

iptables -A OUTPUT -p tcp -d <key server ip> --dport 11371 -j ACCEPT
