    OK Wormman,

    They're simply blocking traffic from your server to third party servers that is difficult to monitor (for them) where non-standard ports/protocol are in use.

    As they have quite specifically said non-standard ports, and excluded http/https from the effected group, your ad script should *not* be effected. The ad script does not call any non-standard ports or use non-standard protocols.

    In a phrase - you should be fine :)

    Cheers,

    JL
