Hello, I run a jabber server but my daughter who is at university is
behind an anal firewall that blocks outward, just about everything is
blocked except 80, msn ports and https (probably).
Now, as jabber clients send through any port that is 1024+ (my server
listens on 5222 and there are no firewall issues here) my daughters
client is blocked from sending to my server.
How can I force her laptop to send all jabber comms on one port which i
can then arrange to be open with the university firewall authorities
permission? They wont be opening all 1024+ ports. Just the one I
nominate for jabber.
Thanks.
Why not set your jabber server to listen on the msn port?
That's 1863 (or something like if i remember correctly) but anyway the
client sends on another "random" port, the server listens on 5222 (or
1863 for msn). What the uni does is block these random ports. If i could
get the client to use a fixed known outbound port then the uni say they
can let it thru. I suppose I could mess about with netcat or ssh but it's
not what I want really. I just want to point Gajim or psi at a local
server which will itself output on a specific local port at port 5222 on
the distal jabber server.
