firewalls

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Surely if there was an easy way to bypass them then it would defeat the whole point of having one ;) I guess it depends on what particular firewall they're using and what things you want to sneak past it.

* Using standard ports for non-standard purposes? (like having a Quake server running on port 80)
* Using a friend machine to relay your protocol (like running a ssh daemon at home, connect there with the 'tunnel' feature and have connect to IRC on localhost:1234 rather than on somewhere.net:666 and let your PC at home forward any packet received on localhost:1234 towards somewhere.net:666 and vice-versa).
* Knowing of some "open" ports on the firewall and listen to that rather than on your default port.

That's more "ways to live behind a firewall" than "ways to bypass" the firewall ... running kazaa at school would be a BadIdea(tm), no ? be it a firewalled or not ...
