Thank you for the hint!

Apparently "noauto" is no longer enough: I've solved by also adding "nofail" to the relevant devices in both fstab and crypttab.

Also, before buying a new USB, try to erase and recreate from scratch the one you have (assuming you do not have important data inside of it).

It's hard to recover it with so few information.
It's probably best if you try a fresh install/automatic recover.

If you had any important data on that drive, it's time to do a backup before...

If you don't please try to describe winch steps you took...

If it works internally, then most probably there something wrong with your router configuration.

do you have a file called /home/rob/VirtualBox VMs/NewWindows/NewWindows.vbox ?

If you want to use 21 instead of 22, you'll have to also change the port on your server.
I would suggest tu use something like 2222 instead, because 21 si supposed to be reserved for FTP.

For those reading in future, there is an option under XFCE settings -> Window Manager Tweaks -> Focus.

The options is called: "When a window requests focus".

I've been a KDE (and then Kubuntu) user for more than 10 years. I have decided to move to XFCE (xubuntu) after trying KDE5. No need to say more, I think.
