Port Tunneling

PersonPerson · 07-01-2008, 02:56 PM

Simple and short. I cannot port forward under any circumstances, so I'm using HTTP-Tunnel. Everything tunnels properly except xat.com chat boxes (flash-based chat boxes, for those who don't know). Can I do anything about that? I cannot connect to those chat boxes normally, via proxy, tunneling, or any method.

Thanks in advance.

The chat requires a forwarded port? Are you hosting the chat? I would think that most proxy servers don't have forwarded ports for obvious reasons.

Yes, the chat requires forwarded ports. I am not hosting it. I assumed port tunneling would work since other things like IM clients, IRC, and P2P applications work through it, and also require forwarded ports.
