Playing a game through a linux server
-
Hello I have a network with almost all ports closed, except those which IE, MSN, Skype etc. uses. Then I have a server which runs "linux Debian 3.1". My question is if it is possible to bounce between the closed network and my server? For example I want to play a game which uses port 4833 (which is closed on my network) but then I want to connect to my server and play through that. If this do not make any sence please let me know what you do not understand and I will try to go into details about it. My guess would be that some kind of program installed on both my computer and the server would do the trick. If someone knows how to do this please let me know :) Thanks QzRz

What are you using to close ports between your server and your network? Shorewall? A hardware firewall? You'd basically make a rule like this: Servers IP: 192.168.0.1 (Just guessing) Clients IP: 10.200.8.175 (Just guessing) Port 4833 So you have your default deny rule that blocks * and then each of your subsequent allow rules only allow certain traffic based upon certain conditions. So you create an allow rule for the service 4833 (TCP or UDP or BOTH) and you set that rule to allow traffic on port 4833 originating from either 192.168.0.1 or 10.200.8.175 depending on how your firewall is set up. The reason I say "depending" is that most commercial firewall products will default allow return traffic from any request that originates from behind the firewall. So if your client is behind the firewall and initiates a request to 192.168.0.1:4833 by default most firewalls should allow traffic to return from 192.168.0.1:4833 to 10.200.8.175:4833. Now all of this depends on firewalls, NAT Policies and other stuff so it would help to know what you are using to segment/secure your network and block ports. - Rex

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog. The act of using CPhog alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

You mention that other ports are already open. Why can't you just open one more? I don't see dead pixels anymore... Yes, even I am blogging now!

The problem is that I do not know anything about the "closed" network. So I do not know what Firewall or other things it uses to block the ports. The only thing i can find out is my own IP (Using 'ipconfig' in cmd) And I do not have the possibility to change anything at the closed network. The only thing I know is that the ports are closed. And I wanted to know if it was possible to go through a port which is already open and then connect to a server and from the server out from a new port, then the server recieve the new data from the port and sends it back to me at the port which are open at my network. But if you know where to find a program/app which scans the network and returns all securety based information I will install it and send you the information.

No I am not, i can sadly say I am only a student. My school has no Internet connection :( Whatsoever it is at my home, so it is not any illegal thing i am trying to do. Unless it is illegal to do this at home?

If it's at your home, why can't you just open the ports you need?

Because it is my parrents network I am using... I cannot get to know what kind of protection they are using because they are afraid I may get throug it somehow. They have put up the network protection because they are afraid if Virus, Worms etc. But I do not think you will get Virus or worms by playing online games, therefore I want to get thrugh it... But first of all I just wanted to know if this was possible.

At this point no, you are stuck. If there was a way around (which I doubt) it would be pretty complex. I'm also not inclined to help you violate your parents wishes. I'm a parent and I don't think I'd like some stranger helping my kids punch holes through my network it would tend to make me a bit angry. - Rex
