Title: How to mine from behind a firewall with most ports shut. Post by: jaminunit on June 10, 2011, 11:39:48 AM Hi there, I am a graphics guy and we have 10 OS X graphics boxes here at work. The only thing is that we are behind a firewall :(
And IT wont open any ports. I'm just wandering if anyone knows how I can GPU mine from behind a firewall??? I was able to run bitcoinplus.com but that is CPU only and is well useless. I have tried Diablo with mining.bitcoin.cz but it fails to log in. I think it might be a problem with getting through port 8332 but like I said IT wont touch anything. Any advice would be well appreciated. :) ??? Title: Re: How to mine from behind a firewall with most ports shut.

Title: Re: How to mine from behind a firewall with most ports shut. Post by: Wuked on June 15, 2011, 10:32:38 PM You can use an SSH tunnel to forward ports:
Code: ssh -L <localPort>:<RemoteHost:Port> login@ssh server then if you connect to locahost on the localport your traffic will get moved though the firewall!

Any help would be appreciated. you could just use a vps Title: Re: How to mine from behind a firewall with most ports shut. Post by: ProudMiner on February 27, 2015, 11:30:33 AM I had the same problem, there are pools who use port 80 or 8080 for mining.
https://www.f2pool.com/ (https://www.f2pool.com/) stratum+tcp://stratum.f2pool.com:80 https://www.litecoinpool.org (https://www.litecoinpool.org) stratum+tcp://litecoinpool.org:8080 (London, UK) stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:8080 (New York, USA) stratum+tcp://us2.litecoinpool.org:8080 (San Francisco, USA) stratum+tcp://ltcpool5brio2gaj.onion:8080 (Tor hidden service) Title: Re: How to mine from behind a firewall with most ports shut. Post by: bomberb17 on May 30, 2017, 08:23:43 PM Now that many ethereum ubuntu rigs are around, I'm going to ask the same question:
Say my miner wants to mine at eu1.ethermine.org:4444 but port 4444 outbound is blocked. How can I tunnel traffic through the firewall? What would be the Code: ssh -L <localPort>:<RemoteHost:Port> login@ssh server |
