I'm attempting to run tarsnap on a machine behind a perimeter firewall, but there's none on the box itself.
AFAIK, the firewall is not filtering port 9279. However, any tarsnap operation I run hangs indefinitely, and eventually dies. Running tcpdump/wireshark and sniffing the connection shows that there is definitely communication going on between my box and the tarsnap server (on Amazon), however at some point, the tarsnap server refuses to continue speaking to my box, and then hangs. Anyone seen anything similar before? I suspect my firewall may be to blame, but I'm not sure exactly what is going on. fwiw: I'm running tarsnap-1.0.33 built from ports on a FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE box (amd64). My account is used successfully on a separate machine (with another key), so I know that works, I generated a new key for this particular box. cperciva: I can send you the tcpdump capture file output if you like.
