Stuck behind a firewall?

2 07 2008

If you’re like me you’re probably stuck behind a really strict firewall at work that virtually disallows anything. SSH doesnt work (hell FTP doesn’t even work). I’m currently testing to see if I can get Remote Desktop Connection working, but until I finish up with that I’ll just post a snippet of information some people may find useful.

If you’re trapped behind a really restrictive firewall and want to access IRC then the best way to beat it is to run a webserver with a CGI based IRC client. Trust me, 9/10 this baby will skip by a firewall no problem ;) .

I’ll post my findings and a tutorial (if successful) on making an outgoing RDC from a restrictive firewall.

Until next time people!
