Title: Mining behind a firewall? Post by: mig on February 11, 2015, 01:25:29 PM Is it possible to mine behind a network firewall?
Would like to try solo mining some altcoins and mining in multialgo pools, but usual mining ports are restricted on the network. What are the options in such a situation?

If you used a pool that has a port 80 option, it might be able to bypass any filters. However, if the firewall does a deep-packet inspection and the packet doesnt look like a http/https packet it may get dropped.
