Bypassing schools firewall.

Xenocide Geek

edit: solved.

Haha, I never thought I'd make one of these, as I'm usually the one helping other people do this kind of thing.

I'm trying to bypass a pretty stupid block on (what I'm assuming) is a large number of outgoing ports.

I'm thinking they allow very limited ones, (HTTP, whatever MSN is using, probably AIM, etc) to go through their firewall, but block every single other one. I can't get a connection with WoW, or with IRC.

I'm getting pretty bored as shit at school during an hour break I have, and sometimes the forums just don't cut it.

if I was using a different operating system, I'd try to figure out a way around it myself, but I don't have a terribly large amount of experience with OSX or relative programs, so, here I am, enlisting other peoples aid.

I'm not network stupid, so I know there's not some magical solution, but maybe somebody has an interesting idea that I haven't thought of yet.

edit: The earlier rules had a longer blurb about this, mentioning that you could get expelled for doing such things
