How to tunnel all ports?

[Bernd]

Hi,

in our city are 3 students hostels connected to the university LAN. But these 3 students hostels need more than 1/3 of the bandwith of the whole university (about 15000 students and about 400 students live in these 3 students hostels - I'm one of them).

To restrict the students not use napster like services and not to create an own napster like server the students service has installed a firewall on yesterday.

So far I'm very pleased with the situation - we were only connected with a 10MBit LAN and it was mostly working to capacity. Since I'm very often remote logged in several calcualtion clusters (I did need it for my diploma thesis) I need a high bandwith for remote X-display, etc.
Ssh within the university still works fine but I can't access my pop3 mails from outside of the university.

So I thought if it is possible to tunnel all needed ports trough an ssh connection? I need more than only pop3 (for example icq is also not working - at least not licq since I miss proxy setup there).

Has anyone of you an idea how to tunnel all ports? I think there are also several other ports open (at least to other university machines), so I could also use other programs to do it.


Thank in advance,

Bernd

You need a vpn to tunnel all ports.
Try:
http://poptop.lineo.com/

that is the server part.

the client is at:
