Thanks for all the responses. |

AirVPN seems to solve a most if not all of the filtering / blocking |
| 5 |
issues. ( Don't try their pre-built client / PATHs are wrong. ) |

"emerge-webrsync" was setup with GPG signature checking. |

What the ISP is doing looks to be ?attaching? / ?embeding? a "process", |
| 11 |
that attempts to execute on my machine. What it did was corrupt |
| 12 |
ebuilds/metadata/hashes while syncing the local tree. |

This command would crash, no error, no output, every single time : |
| 15 |
"emerge -pv --update --newuse --tree --deep --with-bdeps=y @world" |
| 16 |

They obviously didn't achieve what they wanted. From then on, the HTTP |
| 18 |
request made by "emerge-webrsync" was blocked one way. My Gentoo box was |
| 19 |
able to talk AT Gentoo's webrsync servers. Didn't receive anything back |
| 20 |
from the servers. ( all packets dropped? ) |

Converted to "rsync" for using "emerge --sync" instead. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
"emerge --sync" complained about having to "clean up the mess" after the |
| 27 |
VPN was running. The "clean up" seems to have succeeded. |

Will act on the ( lawyer, deposit ) suggestions. And a new e-mail provider. |

This may sound screwy ... with the VPN, the web browser and web sites |
| 34 |
are working/responding so much better. |
