Just curious, David, what's the relationship of the client provided by the Tax Office with the browser? Is it some sort of plug-in or is it a standalone? Most of the major browsers of today support 128 bit, I'm still using Netscape 4.8, which uses 128-bit, to reach my own bank.... > I don't even know for sure that the thing will work through a NATted > firewall at all. If you initiate the connection from your own side of the firewall surely you must have it configured to accept reply packets. I use IE 5.5 and/or Netscape 4.8 to do tax returns here in Stockholm, with either Dachstein-ipchains or Slackware-Shorewall, no problems. It's only a https connection. Maybe your client needs authentication via certificates, popular with the banks. > Does the lack of any relevant entries in my log (shorewall.log) mean > that there is no relevant traffic being blocked?

It's difficult to say without seeing an excerpt from your logs.
