Re: Tunnelling?

[FocusHacks <focushacks () gmail com>]

There are several ways to tunnel port 2000 depending on how strict
your employer's firewall is.

The obvious thing to state, though, is that if they wanted you to be
able to do that, they would not have blocked the port.  The first and
foremost thing to do would be to get permission to do what you want to
do.  Since some remote control programs allow files to be transferred
between the host (your home PC) and the client (your work PC), they
may rightfully see this as a risk for information leaks or as a
possible attack vector.

In many organizations, "tunneling" to avoid detection of your
activities or to bypass firewall rules is a serious offense.  One
company I contracted for actually terminated people on the first
offense if caught bypassing the firewall or web filter.

That said (you got fair warning), for a straight TCP connection like I
assume this uses, tunneling via SSH is probably the most
straightforward.  It sounds like you're using windows.  TeraTerm with
the TeraTermSSH plugin will get the job done.  Then you need to find
an SSH server package to run at your house.

SSH by default runs on port TCP 22.  If port 2000 is blocked, port 22
is likely as well.  If possible, try running SSH on port 80 at your
house.  Deep inspection firewalls or proxies will stop this, too.

There are tons of proxying, tunneling and anonymizer tools out there. 
There's also a lot of tutorials on how to do it.  A properly
configured network, if the netadmin's intent is to have it locked
down, will be really difficult to tunnel out of.  Just remember that
things are blocked for a reason.
