Hi Unman, Regarding the firewall changes - possibly I wasn't clear. The statement removing the firewall was simply me disabling it on the router. I wanted to eliminate this as a possibility before raising my questions here. The only changing of the firewall I have done in the Qubes OS is the iptables changes on the sys-net and sys-firewall VMs. As far as I understand, whilst I may have been a bit of a fool to put in my private address in the telnet, the Bitnodes website was testing the correct port on the external IP address I have. I am getting an unreachable message here. I only did the internal address from a different device on the same network.
