Games at school

~~cyther_69~~ · 11-28-2006, 04:57 PM

Alright... heres my issue. im allowed to play games on my computers in the college. i have my own computer here set up with the games installed and im the administrator of the computer (obviously). The main server at school that i use the internet through doesnt allow the ip addresses or ports that the games i play use for online play. I've tried using the programs httptunnel and freecap. My main problem with trying to use freecap, is i cannot find a socks 5 ip/port to go through...... if anyone has any insight, would be welcome

Don't play games on the school's network.

I'm sure you signed an acceptable usage policy that informed you that can't play games on the network.... study, that's what college is for.

The school has placed those restrictions for a reason, and we won't assist in bypassing legal restrictions on access.
