Hi,

I've been trying to solve this problem for few days already. The situation is like this: my computer is behind a proxy, and almost all ports are blocked (apart from 80). But, I am able to connect a local Unix server using SSH. So what I figured is that I would connect the server, log in and then type 'telnet mud port' and play happily.

The only problem is that I have to connect the server and log in using SSH using MuClient. Maybe some kind of encoding proxy? Any suggestions/advice?

PS: I searched the forum for SSH and found some advices on using the same method to connect SSL muds. It just doesn't work.

Which side of the proxy is the server on? If it is the same side as you then you have just shifted the problem. The server won't be able to connect to the MUD.

You probably need to "tunnel" using SSH from your PC to the server.

I think if you used the method described here:

http://www.gammon.com.au/mushclient/stunnel.htm

That would set up the client end (on your PC).

Then on the server end also run something similar (you would need the Unix version probably). That could be a server. Then the server end could connect to the MUD. Like this:


Your PC ---> Stunnel client ---> Server (stunnel server) ---> MUD
