Sloth at School :X

[ciphersoft]

So it appears my university has blocked Sloth somehow. I can access the website I just can't connect to the game. Anybody know any clever ways around this problem?

Try the fmud option on the main page of this website. Its not the best but it should bypass any school telnet ban.

i guess it will be block as well. I am working, company firewall in fact block all the 3 site that allow us to play. For my side: it will show security error.

There are a plethora of ways around;
One option would be to setup a vnc terminal on a pc that has full net access and use vnc viewer to connect, (you can set the port to whatever you want with vnc so you can find an unblocked port) and it is unlikely that they will block any random ip address.
Another option would be to setup a personal webpage with a fmud or simliar client service it can run, say in the web space provided by the school or by your ISP and then browse to said page and go in from there.
The first option has the advantage of being able to run your tintin/wintin/zmud client on the home pc and use your scripts and whatnot, but has a latency disadvantage, the second would be less latency but limited scripts.

Splork: Thanks, tried that but it was a no go
Redcross: Thank you much for the info, I'll have to give it a try one of these days
