Ill. Firewall steadfastly refusing to accept incoming connections, even when told to. Since it's not logging the rejections, I can't even find out which part of the config is wrong. About to venture out of house in search of honey. Still hoping to be OK for cinema tonight. Illness has apparently caused highly terse writing style.

The vpn software is hand-rolled by technogods, and is thus a complete black box to me, and I have no real clue when it comes to debugging problems with it.

It's probably a bad idea at this point (as in, don't change things at random until you know what went wrong), but you could try the other hand-rolled vpn software...

In protocol terms it places fewer requirements on a firewall than udptunnel; it only requires UDP connectivity on one fixed (incoming) port and doesn't need ssh, an account on the firewall machine for peer sites, etc.

I believe it's easier to get working than udptunnel, but I expect I'm very biased. Other users might give you a more useful opinion.
