I couldn't find anything in the Router's setup to enable or disable pings.

Yes.
b. Attempt to connect to the VPN Server which is connected to my home
network.
Does the attempt work?
No.
The router might be getting a continual stream of packets. Logging
those would take a lot of space. Perhaps it doesn't know the particular
ones of interest to you. It depends on the router and how configurable
it is.
Yes. The Help isn't very helpful in this respect.
If you attempt to connect to a TCP port at the static IP address which
is not being listened to, do you get a ‘connection refused’? If so and
you don't get one for your VPN port then you've reached something which
is listening. That might be the router forwarding it on.
$ telnet -4 bitfolk.com 54321
Trying 85.119.80.199...
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

I'm not sure what all that means. The American author of the code has
woken up now and is also trying to help with the VPN configuration. He
has concluded that the network must be at fault, so we've arrived at the
same point. This setup worked once, 4 years ago when I originally built
and tested the server prior to installation at WMT.
