Circumvent College Firewall

firefly2442 · 12-14-2004, 12:08 AM

Is there any way that I can circumvent the college firewall and allow myself to have a server up? FTP or Web hopefully? The college has ports open I think I just need to figure out how to set it up...

firewalls are for Security!!

IF you want to run a server.....pay for your own access........

IE....DSL, dialup...........

Ask the local IT people if your allowed to run a server. If your allowed to they'll be able to tell you what ports are open. If you try to set up a server on the campus network without permission you might get kicked or banned.

If your not allowed to, like the above post says, if you can afford it get your own access. Usually you'll have to ask for a static IP address and that might cost you more, but usually not much ($5-10 a month extra).

Trying to circumvent a college firewall, and I presume you attend this college
is about as silly as sticking your hand into a meat mincer just to see if it works ...
you'll get yourself thrown out !

asking Q's like that here is a good way to get yourself a warning from the mods and getting thrown out of here as well !

Do yourself a favour, dont ruin your education both at college and here.

Per the LQ Rules "Posts containing information about cracking, piracy, warez, fraud or any topic that could be damaging to either LinuxQuestions.org or any third party will be immediately removed."

This is just a bad idea, and I will second the comments already made. Asking how to defeat a firewall does not comply with the LQ rules, and almost certainly would put you into some very hot water when your efforts are discovered.

And is closed. Ask yourself, why would my college and admins want to let anyone other than them run a server?
