rsync uses port 873
This often gets blocked at many sites.
an easy and "naiive" test can be trying to connect to that port via rsync:
telnet 193.2.4.200 rsync
or
telnet 193.2.4.200 873
the output should look similar to this if that outgoing port is open (not blocked):
Trying 193.2.4.200...
Connected to 193.2.4.200.
Escape character is '^]'.
@RSYNCD: 31.0
