Yeah, just trying to confirm where the problem was exactly.

Based on Alexey's report, it wasn't ecn. My bet is on the firewall's
rfc1918 blocking which for some unknown reason not only blocked private
class addresses, but any /8 block listed by IANA as reserved.
Unfortunately, the list was out of date :-( Anyway, I've disabled that
feature altogether now just to be on the safe side.

Out of interest, what is your IP (or just the network if you prefer)?

Not for me.

Thanks for testing.
