You don't?

Perhaps that's not accurate... you shouldn't.

I was a big time Quake player when I was at university. Spent a bit more time enjoying the campus T3 than attending class and focusing on my studies [and social time]. Just something to consider.



That said, to circumvent this sort of port blocking, you'd need the server on the other side to change their listening port, or a server on the outside to listen on one of the open ports and proxy the connection for you to the server you want to go to.

There's a few apps that make this really easy, though I don't remember their names. That said, if the university is using some sort of protocol monitoring or intrusion detection system, it will likely flag you anyways [since CS traffic doesn't look much like FTP or HTTP traffic for example].

Yeah, I seem to remember using a socks tunnelling app to bypass a firewall to play UO once... I remember it being called Gatekeeper. Well, the exe was.

Had a quick google but can't seem to find it, I might have it on an old CD somewhere.

Anyway, a software socks tunneller might be the thing if the firewall's only blocking outgoing traffic.

It's a tree to bark up anyway.

This will only work if you're trying to join an external server, since incoming through the firewall aimed at disallowed ports will still get blocked.
