I do port forwarding on "my" MI-424WR on FiOS, but I don't use a VPN. Don't
know if that'd be helpful.
Actually, I would suggest that you use some sort of sniffer on *.44 when
it's in the DMZ and make sure it's not receiving packets on any ports except
those that are forwarded when it's not in the DMZ. Unless you've already
done that, in which case never mind. TCP vs UDP might be significant.
