"Lost Continent of Hippo" is the default name returned by the grid info service if another name wasn't set in your grid info settings, or a name couldn't be retrieved; if you're sure you've set a different name then seeing this could indicate the grid info request isn't being returned correctly, or getting through in the first place.

Do you have any other services on the VPS that you could use to verify that the firewall is definitely allowing connections through as expected?

Which firewall settings are you changing, iptables or similar on the system itself, or does your hosting provider have an external firewall as well (usually accessed by whatever control panel you provisioned the VPS from)?
