O.P. RE: UNI - Webcams blocked?
i dont know someone told me they are blocked. im talking to my girlfriend, her webcam can connect fine but mine can't

normally id just think its a dodgy connection and my laptop is being a twat but because someone said you can't use them then i think its down to that. so yes. any technical stuff to get around it would be great thanks

So in UNI if you want to use your webcam at all it's blocked?
Or is it just blocked over the internet?

Is it *your* laptop, or the uni's laptop?

If it's their's, they might be stopping it from running the webcam software/driver(although I imagine they could only do that if it was a built in webcam or something)

i believe it's port based, you could try something like a ssh tunnel
might have a slight delaying effect on the webcam though

as i said, it's a blocked outgoing port by the sounds of it, you might be able to get around it if you use ssh,

you mean ssh tunneling? yes...

you pick a remote host and port, and a local port. then, localhost:[local port] will forward packets to [remote host]:[remote port]. it's pretty simple.

also, you suck at writing tutorials.
