connecting to sloth from work.

[Popa]

Ok all you computer people. I'm trying to connect from work using wintin.net The only problem, our network system only allows traffic on a port 80. I see in the conenction tab on wintin.net it allows for proxys and http connection.. Can anyone give me some advice to connecting?
thanks

Hmm.. yea. Tha's a great idea I'm not really back per say.. But i DO have some downtime at work where i can use that to get in some mudding. I guess i'll have to connect to my computer at home first.

I have the same problem (mud connection). There is a firewall in the border of my network that allows interchanging with the outside hosts only through HTTP-proxy. Of course there are plenty much ways to cheat it, but almost all of them are illegal.
One thing that still keeps me hopeful about the possibility for my dream coming true is socks2http. I can setup my mud client to use it as socks proxy and it will push all my traffic through HTTP-proxy so admins should not be awared I`m mudding.
But unless there is a host that extracts mud commands from HTTP converted traffic it is a deadend. So I`m stucked.

I use to work in an area where the ports was closed, and my buddy "Tunneled"
his way out and was able to get outside access. Now ... this is not a good
thing to do if your company has Smart Network Security Staff. However
when tunneling out, you would be able to mud thru. There are programs
that helps "tunnel" out, but also require a lot of work to make sure it works.

Best of luck!
