    Setup port forwarding via iptables, or you could utilize something like
    dnydns's webhop service

    Subject: Webmin / Usermin and port blocking

    Webmin and Usermin are accessed remotely through ports 10000 and 20000
    respectively - as in http://www.myserver.net:20000

    I work in a company that blocks port 20000 and all other non-essential
    outgoing port requests. Are there any alternative ways of accessing a
    port-bound service like this to get around secure large company sites
    that block direct port connections?

    I guess what I'm asking is about ways to access Usermin as a straight
    http:// connection (ie http://www.myserver.net/usermin) rather than port
    20000 by making changes on my server.

    Thanks in advance,
    bob
