That is a bad advise in general, and a very bad advise for a
'truly paranoid' who is using tarsnap for a good reason.
I most seriously advise against doing this as it could set you back to
the safety level of Dropbox and the likes.
My advise would be to read the firewall rules and check that way
whether or not the tarsnap servers are blocked or not.

You did selectively trim out the bit of code where I turned the firewall
back on within a second of turning it off, Joe. What you write may well
be right as regards paranoia, but I didn't suggest leaving the firewall
off. It would be off for the duration of the keygen process and no
longer, and it would immediately and unambiguously show whether it was
the firewall on the server which was preventing the connection.
