Hi,

I am also connected to Bezeq Beinleumi (actually 'upgraded' to it after Actcom's demise). I have tried your gpg command, and I found IMO some interesting results.

Doing an nslookup on subkeys.pgp.net reveals that this host has a number of IP addresses:

$ nslookup
Note:  nslookup is deprecated and may be removed from future releases.
Consider using the `dig' or `host' programs instead.  Run nslookup with
the `-sil[ent]' option to prevent this message from appearing.

subkeys.pgp.net
Server:         10.71.0.138
Address:        10.71.0.138#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:   subkeys.pgp.net
Address: 114.31.78.196
Name:   subkeys.pgp.net
Address: 208.72.157.55
Name:   subkeys.pgp.net
Address: 195.113.19.83
Name:   subkeys.pgp.net
Address: 213.239.206.174
Name:   subkeys.pgp.net
Address: 213.239.212.133
Name:   subkeys.pgp.net
Address: 64.71.173.107


I tried your gpg command using the host name subkeys.pgp.net and then with each IP address instead of the host name.

Using the host name subkeys.pgp.net causes the command to hang (I guess because the command tries only the first IP address). The command succeeds if using the IP addresses 208.72.157.55 and 195.113.19.83 while it fails for the rest of the addresses. For the last IP address (i.e. 64.71.173.107) causes the command to fail with "No route to host", while with the rest of the "problematic" addresses it just hangs

Hello everyone,
I have a Linksys DSL-2760u router/DSL modem, using a Wow (Bezeq) connection
to the Bezeq International ISP. It seems that various outgoing ports are
blocked - HTTP, HTTPS, bittorrent and SSH work well enough, but - for
example - I can't download Android apps from the Market. Easier to test, I
can't download PGP public keys. For example:

gpg -v -v --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv F120156012B83718
gpg: requesting key 12B83718 from hkp server subkeys.pgp.net

This hangs indefinitely. So does this:
telnet subkeys.pgp.net 11371
Trying 195.113.19.83...

The same occurs for other keyservers, git-protocol, and various other
"unconventional" high-port usage. I've gone over the router settings,
disabled its firewall (but not NAT, which I need), added my machine to the
DMZ (this actually seems to help, sometimes, for git - and even then, only
once), tried port triggering... I can't get a consistent result.

I should note that this issue only exists for *outgoing* ports. I have no
problem mapping *incoming* ports (such as my openssh server or bittorrent
web interface).
