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 Wink

Run OA with
Code:
+set net_port 80
It won't work if you have private IP address (192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x through 172.31.x.x, 10.x.x.x) or you already have some web server running.

that s#cks; I have a private IP address. 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.

Googling, I found an article called "Play Q3A Through A Firewall". 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 won't, because it has nothing to do with HOSTING a game.

But, the original question doesn't say anything about hosting either... It asks about playing OA...
