Are they accessing it THROUGH the hotspot?
i.e. Are they connected to the same wireless/wired network as the 
hotspot clients are? If so, they need to be moved to another network 
(i.e. if the hotspot server has 3 network interfaces, then you have a 
WAN one, the Hotspot LAN, and then the "Other LAN"). If they are 
connected to the Hotspot WAN side, then it should be fine.

This suggests they aren't even getting to the proxy

Is this the hotspot lan ip, or the hotspot wan ip? You will need to use 
the hotspot wan ip which will be different to the ip address in the 
grase hotspot settings. On the first status page you should be able to 
see the wan ip address and the lan ip address.

There may have been some firewall rule changes, which should only affect 
connections on the hotspot lan side, but if you are trying to access the 
hotspot lan side from the wan side, then these rules may block you.

Given you can't even access the proxy server, it sounds like it's the 
firewall blocking you, so you are probably using the LAN ip instead of 
the WAN ip.

If you are still confused, try drawing your network setup for us.
