My classes this semester are abysmal. The only problem is that I can't play LOTRO or a few other online games. I've been told there's a way to use Sockscap and HTTPort to get around my schools port blocking madness. The worst part is if you go into our IT department you'll find any one of our tech people playing WoW. So they can play, but we can't. Any help would be awesome since I've googled everything I can think of and can't come up with a guide.
I finally got my WRT-54GL router and flashed it with the DD-WRT firmware. Anyone know if you can setup a proxy easily with the firmware? I can't find any info on it. My google-fu is slipping.
A fun trick if you control a server somewhere is to run sshd on port 443 (https). Many places will filter everything but 80 and 443, but they often put invasive transparent proxies on 80 that interfere with stuff. You can't proxy https and have it "just work" so most people won't bother even trying.
The whole point of running DD-WRT is so you can run that SSH Daemon on it. The tricky part is according to the internets you need these ports forwarded:
UDP 1200 (used for friends service) UDP 27000 to 27015 inclusive TCP 27020 to 27039 inclusive
The problem I would think is port forwarding those UDP ports, I'm not really sure if Putty can do that (every page I saw in my quick google search shows people doing it through linux command line).
Then we reach the point to where you are trying to game through an SSH tunnel to a router on your home network, hopefully those pings aren't too high.
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question. They called it The Prayer, its answer was law Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
