[options for ssh tunneling through firewall]

hamachi works for playing games on their lan setting with my friend, but i cant connect to internet games with it

[options for ssh tunneling through firewall]

breakthrough:

turns out that what i needed to do all along was tunnel UDP not tcp ... so ssh is useless since it doesnt normally do udp, only tcp.

that said, i'm looking for solutions for THAT now

i found a program called PingFu that works but it's terribly laggy because their servers are in california and i'm in virginia...the internet is having to go over mountains and shit.

any way to set this up on my friends computer? so far no luck

[options for ssh tunneling through firewall]

so if i just got hosting with ssh access i could ssh into my webhost and use that as a tunnel? for whatever the monthly cost of the hosting is? i'm assuming an unlimited bandwidth plan would be helpful? or does it not count towards it?

[options for ssh tunneling through firewall]

port 22 is open, as i have been using it to ssh to proxies like the ones i mentioned (gamepath.net, etc)

the live disk would certainly be an option, but i am trying to run the ssh server on a computer my friend is also using..i should mention this is a temporary setup

i will look at openssh for windows too

if anyone has any other suggestions i am also open (hosting sites, etc, that i might be able to use ssh with? i didnt know if this was something that would work?)

[options for ssh tunneling through firewall]

So I'm trying to do something exactly like what they did in episode 614 (here: http://revision3.com/hak5/tunnelingproxies#rev3Player) with the ssh tunneling of traffic through a firewall. In my case I'm trying to do it so I can use ventrilo and play heroes of newerth (an online rts game like dota) but i'm on windows

I have completely hit a brick wall trying to find an ssh server, however. I tried installing one on a computer back home and my friend both tried installing freesshd on computers but both ran into the same errors (first "this address is already being used" and then login failure despite using hte right password)

i dont have access to a linux computer for openssh, and trying to use cygwin was just all sorts of terrible rolled into awful.

i have been doing this in a limited fashion for the last few days using sites like your-freedom.net and gamepath.net but your-freedom seems to be extremely slow (the connection i mean) and unresponsive (the people) when i tried to actually order something, and gamepath.net seems to block ventrilo -- limiting it mostly to WoW

basically -- can anyone help me find a solution to this conundrum?
