Getting around college dorm firewalls

hey, im in college now, but my fuckin internet connection is behind a firewall. Its a fast fucking connection, but i cant use skype or stream video (i.e. youtube) I was wondering if there is some way to get around this little problem. I was thinking useing proxies maybe? Any help would be appreciated, btw im on windows vista.

get the old ibanez out an light up cigarette and open a heiny, bit of oasis in the background while starin at a poster of the magpies... could help you come up with a solution

Apparently it came from the forums on SA.

Its mostly gibberish to me, but if you're desperate enough, or savvy enough already, it might be of some use.

um... there are public proxies all over the place (and web based) for utube and myspace and all other faggotry.

Just a thought.....

Probable port 80 is open (or search for it)for traffic, so if you set up a server outside campus.
You could set a http tunnel (port 80)up to this server, making virtual anything possible

So setup a (ssh)server outside campus with 'normal' Internet connection.
Acces server by installing client on campus pc through http tunneling port 80.
Configure client to forward incoming / outgoing traffic
Configure your apps (browser etc) to server ip / localhost and listen to the port your client is forwarding too.

you could check winssh from bitvise.com.

edit: did i wrote campus? .. college ofcourse
