You're welcome! I think Henning, in a later post, may have identified the problem in your configuration. Still for posterity, I'll mention a few things: * I don't know what you have in your firewall, but I think (but am not sure) that most routers can do firewalls * And a router like the EdgeRouter from Unity has an underlying (and accessible) Debian OS (6.n) so maybe your firewall rules could be moved there. * I don't use firewalls, I use NAT (which has a few variations) and an /etc/hosts files which basically ignores a large number of spammy websites (by resolving the host name to 0.0.0.0). Good luck, I hope Henniing has identified the problem!
