2 https ports and a firewall by Jarrod on 05-11-2007 at 06:24 AM

i'm running apache2 and it came setup on port 443 https.
i also use remotely anywhere with also uses https.
the problem is the firewall at school blocks https on all ports but 443 so what do i do?

i got apache installed using
http://www.peacefire.org/circumventor/simple-circ...-instructions.html
so can i just configure it to not make all my connections https.

or can i change remotely anywhere?

note the school is running isa

YOu skool allows access to https on port 443?

apache works on port 443 because its default https port.

i'm confused with what your asking :)

ok i have 2 services on my pc remotely anywhere and apache they both use https. but there is only one outgoing https port in the skool's firewall can i use both services from school somehow?

do apache and remotely anywhere need to be running https or can i just get change a conf file so i can connect to apache using http

i think they should both work fine together...........


RE: 2 https ports and a firewall by Jarrod on 05-21-2007 at 06:19 AM

they do work fine togeather but i can only access port 443 from school but i want to be able to use two https ports i don't think anything can be done

If both of your "services" actually use the HTTPS protocol (are accessible with a web browser), then there's almost certainly a way to make them available as https://your.ip.address.here/service1/ and https://your.ip.address.here/service2, even if they are served by two different processes.  If one of the services (your post doesn't make it very clear what one of them is) uses some other (than HTTPS) protocol and only makes use of por 443 because it's open, then this parobably won't work.

If you can install software on the computer you will be using behind the school firewall, then you could probably use the open port 443 to set up a VPN (e.g. OpenVPN), which would be capable of fully bypassing all school firewall restrictions by redirecting your network traffic through your home computer.

maybe this will help ppl understand what i mean
[Image: serverdia.gif] so i can't access both services from school at the same time cos i only have one opened port @ school

Tunnel. =]

i tried setting that up but i couldn't get it to work.
if there's an easy way to do it i'll give it another go
i tried openshh and putty but if i can tunnel that would be great

well now it's been revieved i may as well state the the answer but it should have actually had a solved tag somewhere
-----------------
i have 2 tunnels i use now which is what someone else suggested, i have a dedicated ssh server and a tunnel to the computer i was running appache on, these tunnels are run on port 8080, so it's fixed anyway
