[Opensim-users] Awaiting region handshake

[Karen Palen]

I have always found that the free "Shields Up" at WWW.grc.com is a
"quick and dirty way" to verify that the ports are actually open and
working.

I also found that my TOR relay setup uses 9000 series ports and can
interfere with extenal connections.

There are a lot of links in that chain that can block the traffic!
