1. You could test whether your firewall is the issue by disabling it 
entirely, trying tarsnap-keygen again, and then enabling once you know 
the answer.

sudo ufw disable
sudo ./tarsnap-keygen [etc...]
sudo ufw enable

2. Is there another firewall between your computer and the world? Even 
on my home network there's a firewall on my router.
