Hi, I'm behind a proxy at work, I'm trying to access to a website using the port 8900, for example: www.targetsite:8900, but I can't, I guess that is some kind of restriction in the firewall.
I tried to traceroute the site, but I found that I can't traceroute any host, but I'm pretty sure that is a firewall issue. my question is: is there a way to connect to the target site? this site is totally trusted, I spoke with the network admin but he told me that put that site in a white list would be a security risk.
Sounds like the outgoing firewall is only allowing whitelisted ports (80, 25, etc), so anything outside of that range is going to get blocked.
If you had a machine sitting on the outside of the network, you could have it redirect traffic on port 80 to port 8900 on the target site. This would be pretty trivial to setup, but obviously you need to have a machine connected to the Internet at all times for that to work. Your home computer, perhaps?
I don't understand totally what are you saying, you mean like an ip routing table?, if you can explain me more about your idea, i will be nice for me, sure I can use my home pc.

you may have to use some sort of tunnelling software, but you would have to have another machine somewhere else that you have access to.
tunnelling software comes in all shapes and sizes.
