| HI again
I am at schcool, and i cant connect to the muds because i think, that there is a firewall and i cant connect to any server. There is any way to bypass the firewall?? I have tried to do with free proxy, but it never works | | Top |

| The short answer: no. Unless you can get whoever setup the firewall to open whatever port you need to play on, you are pretty well locked in. There *may* be ways around it via java applets if the mud has a website but your connection will be raw telnet with absolutely no extra functionality. There's also no guarantee the firewall hasn't blocked applet execution so this may not work anyway.
You may also want to see ifthe muds you want to connect to support ssh connections as that is another possible way to connect if the firewall isn't configured to block outgoing ssh connections. |
