[AccessD] FTP to server

[Rocky Smolin]

So when I turn off the VPN and end the background process as well the open
times out:

ftp> open server1.charltonweeks.com
> ftp: connect :Connection timed out
ftp>

That's odd. You would think that if it works with the VPN on it would work
with it off. But obviously my assumption is wrong.

My IPv4 is:   76.82.25.57 <https://whatismyipaddress.com/ip/76.82.25.57>
