My teacher just set up an ISA Proxy and he won't open up the ports I need to play VO.
So I was wondering if there was a way to do it client side?
If not.... oh well.
I'll just have to create a Cantenna to get through that solid concrete wall and change my mac address/crack WEP....
But if it was easier to change the ports :)

Use ssh and tunnel to another machine, then use port forwarding to open them on the local machine.

If you direct me to a link Rogue....
I'd create an Itani alt just for you!

Well, you need to have another machine somewhere, preferably running linux or *BSD. Then you need to know that other machine's IP address and login information. Then you need to forward two ports to your local machine. If you're on Windows, you might want to use PuTTY. If you're on *ix or *BSD, you would use OpenSSH. The two ports are 21024/tcp and 21141/udp.

So I'm creating a proxy.
Can you create and connect to a proxy that is behind a router?
Guess I'll find out when I try to get PuTTY to work.
And I guess I have to have PuTTY running on both computers eh.

The unfortunate thing is, if you have to bounce off a machine on an external network (and you don't have a pipe the size of Uganda), it's going to be so slow it'll be unusable.

(I'm blocked from Uni. The only other machine I have access to to use as a proxy is my machine at home. Said connection is borderline unusable for VO anyway, without the overhead of proxying. Not an option here.)

VO Over Port 80! *Petitions* ;)

Well, putty is an SSH terminal, not a server. You really need a *nix to get an SSH server working at any decent rate.

And performance is determined by upload speed. So if you're tunneling outside the network to a conventional cable/DSL connection with 128-384k up, you'll be a lot worse off than if you're tunneling into, say, a co-hosted webserver with several MiB/s up.

I doubt VO uses more than 32kb/s up.
My cable will do fine if I can get it to work.
Right now I'm trying to configure it.
I've downloaded PuTTY, WinSCP, freeSSHd....
Man, I don't know how to configure this.
This is gonna take some research.

Better yet, start an SSH SOCKS proxy, and tunnel everything through it. I did it last time I was at a hotel. Didn't trust them as far as I could throw them...

Everyone keeps tellin me what to do.
But I don't know HOW TO DO IT!!!!
Please leave explicit instructions or NOTHING!
This isn't a thread to show how much of a 31337 H4X0R U R!
But really Devs, can I just add somethin to the config file????

Um. For the devs to make this work on their end would require that they provide their own proxy, which I somehow doubt they'd do... I told you, you need to set up a real *nix server somewhere and SSH into it. It doesn't matter whether you forward those two specific ports or use it as an overall SOCKS proxy, but you need a server somewhere that you have access to.

"This isn't a thread to show how much of a 31337 H4X0R U R!"

LOL...

I'm working tonight, but I've been trying to figure this out for ya kix. I don't understand how to setup Putty at all, it's pretty confusing...Anyways, i'll hit google hard tomorrow on my day off and see what I can find.

/me signs port-80 petition

hey, wait a minute...

I'm all for allowing users to select from a list of ports or specifiy a port they can use in the client.
