Any suggestions?

You could test whether your firewall is the issue by disabling it entirely, trying tarsnap-keygen again, and then enabling once you know the answer. sudo ufw disable sudo ./tarsnap-keygen [etc...] sudo ufw enable 2. Is there another firewall between your computer and the world? Even on my home network there's a firewall on my router. John Harris Information Processing Officer The Common People

Greetings: I am having difficulty generating a key using tarsnap-keygen: % sudo ./tarsnap-keygen --keyfile /root/tarsnap.key --user myn...@gmail.com --machine mybox [sudo] password for mel: Enter tarsnap account password: tarsnap-keygen: Connection lost, waiting 1 seconds before reconnecting tarsnap-keygen: Connection lost, waiting 2 seconds before reconnecting tarsnap-keygen: Too many network failures tarsnap-keygen: Error registering with server I am trying this on Ubuntu 14.04.4 using tarsnap-autoconf-1.0.37. A google search came up with one suggestion that port 9279 needs to be opened for outgoing traffic, so I tried using ufw to achieve this: % sudo ufw status verbose Status: active Logging: on (low) Default: deny (incoming), allow (outgoing), disabled (routed) New profiles: skip To Action From -- -- 22/tcp ALLOW INAnywhere 22/udp ALLOW INAnywhere 22/tcp (v6)ALLOW INAnywhere (v6) 22/udp (v6)ALLOW INAnywhere (v6) 9279/udp ALLOW OUT Anywhere 9279/tcp ALLOW OUT Anywhere 9279/udp (v6) ALLOW OUT Anywhere (v6) 9279/tcp (v6) ALLOW OUT Anywhere (v6) Still no joy. For completeness I also tried tarsnap-autoconf-1.0.31 and the latest version from Github, same results; so I'm guessing there's something wrong with my configuration or environment. Any suggestions?
