Hi,

I am trying to work a way around the content blocker and firewall. The firewall blocks all ports except 443 and 80. 25 and 110 are also open.

I am able to get around the content blocker (8e6 technologies) and firewall (cisco??) using ssh. I forware 8080 which tunnels to my server at home (apache with proxy enabled), and i am able to easily look at all pages i want, without it being monitored or restricted, after changing the browser's settings to work with a proxy on 127.0.0.1:8080.

The problem: I only get the 8080 for web-sites.

I was trying to get runescape to work, but of course, all port except local:8080, going to home over ssh, and 80 (filtered) are blocked. That means that ports 43594, 43595 and 8010 drop away (site note: runescape is running on java).

I am trying to provide runescape with these ports.

I have been playing around wit squid a little bit, but i am not sure how i would have to set the settings and port-forwarding in ssh(client) to make it work.

1) is squid the right program to use?
2) what would i have to change in ssh to get runescape's port to the "behind the content blocker and firewall PC"?
3) is it possible to forward all outbound (not only to 127.0.0.1) traffic and ports to the ssh port tunnel (listening on 127.0.0.1)?

Thank You!!

What systems are you trying to get around - who's running the content filtering systems? There's probably a reason for them being in place.

Well, the filtering and firewall is done at the district. There are about 100 different school going through there, many elementary and kindergartens. For them the filetering is appropriate. I am in high school, and teachers are contantly asking me to remove the content blocker for them and the class, in order for the class to be able to do research (for example lots of pages about STDs, Drug abuse... are blocked) During lunch, i am normally on a computer, doing my homework, and when i am done, i have nothing better to do except play runescape :-D

The blocker is from 8e6. I get trough with an SSH tunnel, but i have not yet fund a way for the Runescape ports to find a connetction to my server at home over ssh. I am not sure to which (IP of what) im my network (at home) the tunnel should go. The server i am running at home is apache with mod proxy. this allows for http traffic and others. 1) How do i get a ssh tunnel for the rune-scape ports?

The second problem i have is 2) how do i could get java to use this tunnel (instead of connecting to the school's switch and being blocked / firewall-terminated)

I've not yet found a way around....
