WiFi
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.
One can also use ssh to set up a SOCKS proxy:
ssh -D [local_socks_port] [machine_I_have_rights_on]
