Campus Firewall, P2P, Tunneling?


Hello folks,

I am still a newbi at networking so dont laugh if you think my idea is silly, and please spend some time comment if the idea would work at all.

Our school, has a firewall on campus network. It blocks all the ports plus put all P2P packages into low priority. Thus eMule runs very slow and BT doesnt work.

My idea? Most students has another computer(Let's call it A) and internet at home which is fully under their control. "A" can have access to open Internet unrestricted. Setup a VPN sever on "A". Use computer behind campus firewall(Let's call it B) to connect to VPN sever @ A. Then ask A to forward all the traffics on certain ports to B.

This way, B can have access to open internet through A. And packet shaping wont affect the transfer since VPN is encrypted.

All right, this is all theory crab, what do I need for the port forwarding from A to B part? NAT on VPN sever? (I said I am newbi) Any suggested reading on that? (I googled but found nothing about it)
========

Now I am using a rather dumb way. Remote control aMule at home computer. Then use sftp the get the files.

========

Let the donkey fly!

Diego

usually this is done with ppp over ssh. this is standard firewall piercing and you should probably read the ldp mini how-to:

Thanks johnson;

The how-to looks pretty good. I'll look into it.

Cheers
