How to Bypass ISP Blocking: Bypassing Firewalls Using Tunnelling
Fortunately there are several solutions to overcome these obstacles.
A little theory to begin with, for example if you have an application that uses port 5901 to interrogate, your PC will question this application via the Internet and therefore via your ISP via port 5901.
If the ISP blocks port 5901 we can work around this problem by tunneling. This means that we will use software that will pass through your ISP on a port that is open and server tunneling will interact with your application on the desired port.
The solution I have implemented takes less than ten minutes using SocksCap and HTTP-Tunnel Client.
First you should download the software and install it.
Download HTTP-Tunnel
http://www.http-tunnel.com/
Download SocksCap
http://soft.softoogle.com/ap/sockscap-download-5157.shtml
Configuring SocksCap
Set up SocksCap s follows.
In the "SOCKS Settings" enter:
- SOCKS Server: 127.0.0.1
- Port: 1080
- SOCKS version 5: Attempt local then remote
Click on OK.
You must now chose which applications you want to use the tunnel with.
- Click on the button New
- Choose a name (the one you want)
- Click on Browse and search / selects the application to be launched
- Click on OK
That's it for SocksCap!
Configuring HTTP Tunnel
Open HTTP Tunnel.
- Go to the Settings panel> Configure firewall
- No check on Proxy, only a Firewall
- Click on the button "Test" to check
HTTP Tunnel is now configured correctly!
Return to SocksCap and double click on the application that you previously added.
You are all done! And best of all it's free. For better bandwidth on HTTP-Tunnel you can pay $5 per month. I have found that this method is great to bypass ISP which block P2P (BitTorrent etc). You can also use this method to get through firewalls at school or work. Although I don't recommend using it at those places if it is against the rules of your network administrator. Only use it for educational purposes.
