They seem to have a defective firewall that violates the TCP standard by 
messing up the window scale factor. If you still want to reach Libre, 
see if you can turn TCP window scaling off. (I have no idea how to do it 
in MacOS X.) That may work around the problem, but it limits your 
ability to utilize a high bandwidth.

It's most likely that wirefall – sorry, firewall – that's blocking ping 
too. That's just the kind of pointless thing that broken firewalls like 
doing.
