Port Forwarding?

[choduman]

Hi there, can someone give me an idiots guide to port forwarding? I have searched on the net, but all the ones that come up need you to have access to the router, but I dont. There was a software called "your-freedom" which says it does it all for you....but is that tru?

try

www.portforward.com (found by searching for port foward on google)

report back with any probs

.

Yup, that only really works when you know what router you have, but like i said, i dont :(

[silentscream]

if u dont have access to your router

(with the username and password(if set)

then there really isnt much u can do

i have quite a vast knowlege of networking

and im pretty sure no one could forward ports on my router without my admin password

so u may be unable to alter the settings at all

.

[choduman]

hmm, i have been told its possible to do it, and aparently that software from your-freedom does it, could you have a look at it and give me opinion on it before I install it please?

[silentscream]

its a http tunnel

and something i dont know a great deal about

as i have never used one

there are users here though that i know have good knowlege of such things

u may just have to wait awhile

Do you have access to a proxy on your network. If not do you have open access on port 80. If you have a proxy you can set up a bidirectional http tunnel through the tunnel. The difficulty lies in whether the proxy supports ssl connections or not.

And what do we tell people who are on college campus and whine about P2P?

You're right krell, he caught mean in a good samaritan mood.But im over it, so he can piss off now.

Actually, i'm not on a college campus :P
It seems this software using the tuneling is working, but I only getting 10k/s (if i want more i need to pay). Zarquon, I dunno if i have access to either proxy or port 80, how would i check?

[silentscream]

You're obviously on a restricted network, either work or school. If not feel free to tell me where the lan is.
