A Proxy to route ports

[Yevgeny Efter]

Hello! I don't know if I understand the problem correctly, that's why I'll ask about it first. My computer stands behind a firewall that blocks all ports except for a few. But I need these ports. So I thought to write a program that will route a port that is opened by my firewall to a port that I can't get to it, and install it on another computer outside the network with the firewall. First, is it a possible solution? Second, can I write such a program in C#? Thanks in advance!

Have a nice day!

Your explanation isn't very clear at all. You're making statements that contradict each other and you haven't provided any information about where the traffic is comming from that you want to redirect to where. Are the blocks that you're talking about on inbound traffic, or outbound? What ports??

This makes no sense at all. What's the "other computer" outside the firewall?? What's it's purpose in life? If you're talking about routing traffic from the Internet going to a specific port on a machine inside the firewall, the only thing that can redirect that traffic in the firewall itself. If you're talking traffic comming from your machine that is going to a machine on the outside, then you have to open a connection on the target machine and the target port on that machine.

I seriously doubt it.
