If the admin close all the ports even the 22, I think it's not possible...
can you connect througt SSH ?

Hi


well i am not able toconnect to ssh,since admin is not providing he ssh service. but there areotherport open like smtp , ftp and all.can we do theport tunneling.

is there any loop hole in squid so that i can use the gaim and irc.

I don't think so
I think your admin has define some redirection ports like ftp, smtp and of course http but has closed all ther others.

You can try a nmap on the proxy server to see if there's something opened...

Well, when I had the same problem, I connected home with ssh and run centericq which is a terminal version for msn and icq protocol.

Otherwise I don't know but if someone knows a better way I'm interrest !!

If you have a machine, say at home, you could run ssh on a different port - in this case 80, as it is allowed through the proxy. Then you can setup and ssh proxy tunnel to get to the rest of the world on the ports that you want.

ssh -L is your friend.

IT's just what I try to say ;-)

[bonobo_slr]

If the msn server is server1 and runs on port X then to use it on local port Y you run :

# ssh user@home -L Y:server1:X

Then add an entry in your hosts file

<your IP> <your hostname> <server1>

Then connect.
