DC++ Behind Restrictive Firewall

[saveth]

I am at a university with a firewall that puts speed limitations on pretty much all ports except http, irc, and some others. What is the best way to get around these limitations? A guide would also be helpful.

Thanks

HTTP Tunneling, or setting your clients to use the ports that are open from your firewall. I don't know much about tunneling as I've never tried it, someone else most likely will though.

Welcome to ZeroPaid, someone should be along shortly to help you, hopefully.

I have the same problem. What the hell is http tunneling

I am also behind a realitvely restrictive firewall while at school and two programs that I have found to work wonders are www.htthost.com the HTTPORT client then use www.google.com to find a proxy running on port 80 or any other that is open on ur net work then follow the directions on the webpage to set up whatever cliet it may be. For instance winmx you would go to setting then proxy information select socks 4 type in 127.0.0.1 and put it on port 1080. Httport covers your socks 4 programs but Socks 5 programs such as Kazaa require a program that is not free but has a 20 day trial http://www.iprisma.com/kazaahttp/. Set up and run the program the same way. As for DC i have not been able to succesfulyl get a connection going using Kazaahttp while other programs work just fine with it. But fi your willing to shell out some cash www.hopster.com i believe will work with DC but you would have to try it out. If anyone has any specific questions feel free to drop me a pm. :) sorry if i rambled
