It turns out it had 0 to do with those settings, Lady Stardust. Because I have now made these changes, either way and it does nothing whatsoever. I made them stricter again, because why not. Why would I not want to limit "incoming" traffic; see "incoming". Zero relation. Only less protection for me when left open. So no. I am going with the default settings of my provider. I think I can trust them, can't I?

Chromis, it's gonna be here tomorrow (trust me LOL), no pressure. But I did want to mention it because it is a royal PITA, I can tell you that much. And I was not around that much lately either, to have that then happen is real bothersome. I have sooo many YT videos to catch up on! (over 200 but shhh).
