Full ACK.

The problem seems to be the Telekom-gateway: My '217.0.117.111' doesn't
answer to ping-requests. Seems to be normal 'Telekom'-behaviour(?).

So my IPFire usually uses the IP-address of 'ping.ipfire.org', otherwise
the 'gateway'-stats are empty.

Using 'tracepath' and some modifications, we once tried to find another
solution
(https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15432&hilit=telekom+gateway).

But with my (paranoid) configuration (everything is blocked, except...)
this had the effect that 'tracepath' filled my firewall-logs with
blocked REJECT_OUTPUTs on Port 44444 or 4444X
(https://forum.ipfire.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=15432&hilit=telekom+gateway&start=15#p93043).

Best,
Matthias
