7h3kk1d Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 I think my school is blocking irc but I'm not sure, I just know it works at home and doesn't work here. I was wondering what would be the best/easiest way to circumvent this issue if i didn't have a remote server and what would be the best way if i did.

digip Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Proxy, vpn, tunnel, etc. Could also try Java web clients if you trust/can find one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7h3kk1d Posted January 9, 2010 Author Share Posted January 9, 2010 web clients work.. Changing the ports do not work and for the rest i need a remote host don't I. I can continue using a web client but i would prefer to just use xchat or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H@L0_F00 Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Looks like your best bet would be to get a shell and tunnel through it with SSH. Darren did a segment on it a few episodes ago. Also, many people offer free shell accounts, just look around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theSuperman Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 So you have internet at home, correct? Well heres one thing that you can do: If you have a router that is supported by Tomato firmware, install that on the home router. You can then ssh into the router directly and forward ports that way. This is how I forward my traffic while on unsecured APs. Of course, this is assuming your parents would allow you to do this. If your ISP blocks port 22, just use another port. I actually use a non-standard port to ssh into my router. Also, ensure that you disable telnet. And change your default admin password (duh).

theSuperman Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 That's an awesome idea thank you so much Note of caution: if you decide to flash your router with the Tomato firmware, make sure you are connected to the router via ethernet. I made the mistake of updating my firmware (from an older version of tomato to the latest) over wifi. Well my connection dropped midway through and my router was semi-bricked for an hour. I got lucky and was able to resuscitat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
