Then I thought, surely this add-on is not talking thro my host servers port 119 - but connecting to the selected new servers port 119. So I would not need to have port 119 open on my host? Maybe I am wrong?

No, as long as the outgoing port 119 is not blocked, it should work fine. Try connect to news.tornevall.net at that port and see what answer you get.

By the way - buying accounts can be a bit "bad", so be careful with the choice there.

Normally newsproviders only allows one user per account which means that sharing such account with others may not be allowed.
