    Yo,

    I saw this question previously posted but there was no joy. In work
    they've blocked outgoing access for telnet, ssh etc, so I can't access
    redbrick.

    Now, redbrick has a ssh tunnel service running on tunnel.edbrick.dcu.ie:80 (yeah?).

    All external requests from my workplace go through port 81 and I know the
    name of the proxy and the port.

    How can I configure putty to tunnel out through port 81 and connect to tunnel.redbrick.dcu.ie on port 80?

    Any help very much appreciated,

    Thanks

    You could maybe try to tunnel to an anymous proxy server through port 80.

    this doesn't help your specific question - but where i work they blocked dns for non-http traffic
    you could try to ssh/telnet to the ip address directly

    Cheers for the ideas, but none of them worked.

    This is classic reaosn why non-morons shouldn't be put in
    charge of network security.

    Go into putty,
    SSH-> Tunnels

    Source port: 81
    Destination: tunnel.redbrick.dcu.ie:80

    Click Add

    Then go into Session, and login in as normal.

    Set your browser to point to 127.0.0.1 port 81.
