Virus updates no longer happening

[Michael Freeman]

Well it was around Dec 21 that we changed the SSH port on this box so it
seems to jive with the fact that because we did so that updates have now
stopped. Im running f-secure and their code is encrypted so I cant
determine exactly what they are doing.

Unless he is redirecting ports and its to the same port that the outgoing
update is on.  That might be causing the problem.
