Getting through a firewall

Name: Anonymous 2006-09-12 7:15

Right, so I have to get through the firewall at my school so I can play EVE Online. I'm not too good at stuff like this but not a complete noob either. Now, EVE works on port 26000 and I would like to be able to access that from either port 443 or 80, I just need to know how. I did set up a SSH server on my home computer that functioned perfectly but then realized EVE can't be set up to use SOCKS servers so I can't really get it to work correctly.

I can't use a HTTP tunnel because unlike WoW, EVE uses UDP.  A HTTP tunnel will allow me to use IRC, BitTorrent and stuff like that, but not EVE.

What I would like to do is set my home computer up so that when it recieves connections on port 443 it bounces back to a specified IP on port 26000, but other suggestions for making this work are also appriciated.

Thanks in advance /comp/

Try an IP-in-IP tunnel. YOu'll have to learn some networking, and depending on how Eve is in terms of bandwidth, this may add a lot of latency.

Why can't you use SSH port forwarding?

I don't know how to, really. I did open up a tunnel to my SSH server using putty but still couldn't connect...

Don't change these.
