SSH Tunneling to get around blocked ports

Ports blocked? Try this:

• On your laptop, execute:

 ssh -f -N -L 9999:chat.freenode.net:6667 machine.I.have.rights.on

...where chat.freenode.net:6667 is the machine/port you want to eventually get to, machine.i.have.rights.on is...well, that, and 9999 is an empty port on your local machine.

You'll be prompted for a password if you need one, after which you can put it in the background.

Then you can set up your chat software to talk to localhost:9999 and you're set.

Ground Crew Contacts

Please feel free to contact us about anything, any time, between now and the end of the conference.

You can call Jodi online via Skype, or type your number to call me at Google Voice.
