Title: Bypassing firewall Post by: Papa.Coen on November 01, 2007, 03:29:57 AM In order to play OpenArena I need to bypass a firewall (which I do not control). How can this be done? Is there a way to relay the traffic via port 80? I'm a bit of a computer guy, but networking is not my 'thing' so I need some help here ;)

Is there no way around this by using a proxy or something, I've been messing around with an anonymizing proxy, but this (Tor) was a bit on the slow side.

No, clients connect to you so there must be port open for incoming connections on your side. Your gateway would have to set up port forwarding to your computer.

It begins like this:
Quote Stuck behind a firewall and think you can't play Q3ATEST? Q3ATEST has support for SOCKS5 (RFC-1928). Well, at least the wintel version does... It relates to Quake 3 Test but maybe this bit of info helps...

It asks about playing OA... |
