Simple Thread
 
Essentially, my university has opted to apply some form of firewall to the network which basically means I can't do anything that I might enjoy.

Is there any way around this?

Go down the news agent, they keep loads of that stuff on the top shelf.

Porn isn't blocked, just p2p, torrent, irc; even ****ing online chess.

All forms of direct connection are blocked at my uni too - blocking games and p2p and such seems to be a standard for JAnet.

Allegedly IRC should work but the ****ers seem to block it, leaving me having to tunnel onto IRC.
I don't think they've noticed yet, fortunately.

see if they have a comp-sci or engineering course, earn your accreditation, use this knowledge then to hack into their equipment.. profit!

Or offer to assist the Uni IT department, realise what complete morons they really are, leech all of their passwords and run riot over the system

use http-tunnelling.
there are free ones (not very high bandwidth) and pay-for ones (high bandwidth).
or just get a friend to set up their computer to be your ssh host.
but, as already said, the most pragmatic approach is to quit univeristy.

You'll have to pay $5 a month or something to get reasonable speeds though.

You can borrow my razor if you like.

My university had torrents p2p etc all blocked, so i ended up just download via irc, worked a treat, also could get max bandwidth on some bots etc

This is why all people in the IT industry should go to uni, then noone would create programs that would do this because they know how bloody annoying they are.

My university offers everyone a free UNIX shell account on (one of ?) their server(s) that acts as a bridge between the student LAN and the internet. So I used it to port forward with, and laughed at everyone who got into trouble for tunnelling :)

Most uk unis are now opening up ports.

brunel university

ssh is blocked because access to port 22 is blocked:

Error: I could not see your service on 134.83.1.233 on port (22)
Reason: Connection timed out

Appocomaster 30 Sep 2007 09:37

Re: Simple Thread
 
err is your IP unique to your PC, or is it part of the uni IP?
Most unis would have a list of the open / closed ports...

Androme 30 Sep 2007 12:08

Re: Simple Thread
 
i'm not quite sure - sites seem to tell me that 134.83.1.233 is my IP -BUT- when I go on a blocked website for example, I get a different IP which is timestamped: IP Address 134.83.203.34

i have found a website where they say how to use a ssh connection and tunnel it through a proxy but it's for linux and I'm on Windows

Re: Simple Thread
 
still no luck!

i've tried HTTL Tunnel Client but it never starts a download and uploads at 0.1kb/s with uTorrent - limewire won't even work at all (i've read the guides to no luck)

i also need to know how i can use rapidshare - proxies don't let me download - either it returns a blank page or rapidshare seems to know that i am using a proxy and stop the download just shows up the same page

any help really appreciated thanks :D

If you've a computer at home that's always connected, use something like www(dot)logmein(dot)com to remotely access that computer's desktop

Or install a program like hamachi (www(dot)hamachi(dot)cc - also from logmein) to setup a vpn between ur uni pc and home pc, then use ultravnc to connect to it. One really nice thing about hamachi is that you can file and print share with your home computer, and also connect a load of computers up to its network.

Hamachi handle's the tunnelling itself by using a "server assisted NAT-traversal technique".....if it works dont fix it.

Otherwise, the logmein (free version) is the way to go. You need to install it on you home pc first obviously (as with hamaci and ultravnc), then in college you just load a small java app into your browser.
