Run miner or mining-proxy on port 80?

[Ali]

I tried but couldn't create a http-tunnel from my pc at work which pierces proxy and firewall.

Is there any possibility to mine with my work PCs on port 80 or set up a mining-proxy (at home) for the work PCs which I can forward to the pool of my choice?

If your miner is running Linux, you could try smartcoin and then use a web-based ssh client like www.gotossh.com or even a smartphone to administer your system

Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm on Windows with both machines at work. Sadly can't alter that.

I don't want to adminster my miners at home. I want to mine with my work-PCs (both desktops with ok GPUs).

A windows machine can use putty to connect to a Linux miner with no problem.  Or are you mining on the windows work computers?

I want to mine with the work PCs.

cdhowie's proxy lets you mine on port 80 without problems. In fact I'm doing just that since it means I won't have to open more than one port (I need port 80 anyway for the proxy's web admin interface). The proxy itself is port agnostic, you just need to configure the Apache it runs on to use the correct port.

If you run that proxy on Windows note that you'll have to greatly increase the Timeout and ThreadsPerChild values in the Apache httpd.conf, otherwise the proxy will give more stales than necessary and will stop working after some hours. I use Timeout 4200 and and ThreadsPerChild 1024 which works well.

This post talks about connectivity issues which doesn't apply here, but it also talks about getting a program up and running called socat. The socat program is the key here to do exactly what you are asking. Finding a win32 version of socat was the hardest part for me and that was still pretty easy 

Or you could mine eligius.st over port 80

I would use eligius on port 80 but lack which miner supports proxy authorization (not cgiminer)?
