Title: Redirect network traffic through alternate ports
Post by: Zxian on June 25, 2011, 08:24:39 AM
I've got a bit of a technical question regarding network traffic and how to work with the firewall restrictions that are in place. The good - I've got access to a location where I can store my mining rigs with free electricity, and I don't have to worry about the heat in my apartment. The downside - they've blocked all network traffic except for DNS, HTTP, and HTTPS at this location (ports 53, 80, 443). I also have root access to a web server that is outside of this firewall (the web server also happens to be running as a VPN server).

Is there any way that I can get my mining rigs online and connecting to my pools 'through' the given ports on the firewall? Most of the pools I've seen use port 8332 as the connection.

Any input or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

This suggestion might help, http://www.pc-freak.net/blog/how-to-redirect-ports-to-access-gmail-yahoo-hotmail-etc-via-a-different-port-number-on-debian-linux/, it's linux stuff though.  I have no idea how to do it in windows.
