    Re: Firewall bypass

    As far as I know the only way to do that would be to create a system which uses ports/applications/web-sites which are already allowed by the firewall.

    One option would be to create a web-based system (with a regular refresh), but it would be much easier to configure the firewall.

    Re: Firewall bypass

    Your firewall is likely blocking incoming requests but not outgoing traffic. In order to achieve what you want, 2 clients, each behind a firewall to communicate, then it is manditory that you have some server outside of each firewall to act as an intermediary arbiter. Each client must then connect to the server and communicate with eachother through its control. There is no other way, no matter how bad you want it.
    Nobody knows what software they want until after you've delivered what they originally asked for.

    Don't solve problems which don't exist.
