Re: Tunnelling?

This one is a bit of a can of worms. I'm guessing
you're not a security professional so excuse me if
there is stuff here you already know.
If your company is blocking ports there is very likely
a policy that makes it against company rules to try
and circumvent this port block. If they don't have a
policy, they should otherwise they shouldn't be able
to refuse a request to open the port. There are few
things Sys Admins and security pros hate more than
users trying to get around security measures that are
in place to protect said users and the company that
employs them.

My suggestion:
Go to your IT department and ask if they will open
that port for you. If they won't they should be able
to give you a reasonable explanation why.

There are ways to circumvent most port blocks and a
quick Google search will probably give you more than
enough answers.
