What exactly did you download? (link)

What exactly did you "add...customly"?

If you're using a proper client and you added EG yourself (properly), then you could have some dirty router/port thing.

Also, a zone appearing red does not necessarily mean you can't connect to it - have you tried entering it anyways?

My school network has a port blocker; it blocks everything not on a "white" list.

there isn't anything that remaps ports?

What?

There's nothing outside your network that can take traffic from one port and reroute it through one on the whitelist?

But... how would that work on the other end?

My computer port 7900 -> Port changer to 80 -> Port Blocker -> EG Server "Huh? Port 80? Must be a hacking attempt! Ignore."

They could easily block UDP as web-browsing/mail protocols are all TCP/IP.

I would think if it can change the port for you, it can change the port again for them. Then again, I don't even know if such a system exists...

Well I don't quite understand the intricacies of UDP. How do you send something on one port destined for a different port on the receiving end?

I love packet filtering.

I love ignoring your irrelevant posts, Purge+.

One word: "proxy".

Purge · Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 5:46 pm Post subject:

I use packet filtering to unrestrict ports that only flow in my network.

Cyan~Fire · Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 6:54 pm Post subject:

I have no clue what you're talking about, Purge.

And Solo, where's the proxy? Am I going to ask SSCX to install one for me?

Solo Ace · Posted: Wed Mar 02, 2005 7:11 pm Post subject:

Purge doesn't either.
I think he means the same traffic-blocking system as how it's done on your school network, or whatever.

That'd be possible, but a stupid idea (as if SSCX would run one for you).

Client port (not allowed to send data to any external networks, so you let it connect to your local proxy server) -> Local proxy port (the proxy server accepts connections from the local client, then it fordwards it to the external host through the allowed port).
What you could do too here is just let the client actually connect through the allowed port to the external proxy server.

Somewhere outside your school's network (this could be on SSCX, if you want) runs another proxy server, which, if really required, forwards the data to the server.

I still think it would be a stupid idea, I don't even think it would work.
What Cypher said's right too, if they're only allow outgoing connections to port 80 with TCP, you can't put a UDP connection on it.

Meh, I don't even know why I'm replying to this thread with all these weird ideas.

Maybe if I cracked the Continuum encryption, put it over TCP, routed it to my computer at home, which would decrypt the TCP and then re-encrypt it in UDP... hmmm... that just might work. Nice idea, Solo!

This thread has officially gone stupid.
I suggest it is time for lock/split/delete spam.

EdTheInvincible · Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 12:09 pm Post subject:

or have a local proxy do udp over tcp then have the other proxy decode the udp packets and forward them to the right place... it's possible to do, but i wont code it for you

That's true, but Grav's right, it's stupid. I'm not very bothered about playing at school, since I only have access to a computer there twice a month or so.

well then just change the port you're proxy-ing on until you get one that is allowed
