AW: AW: Firewall workaround

Title: RE: AW: Firewall workaround

I didn't want to create a question about If I am alloud to actually bypass the firewall.

I am alloud to use specif services, however the it does not say that I have to use the common ports for these services.

The problem is that I am forced to use different ports for these services because of a job which I am doing.

 

It would really be nice if you could help!

Thx alot

And of course, people by-pass firewalls for a reason too.  Clearly the user here feels the firewall is too restrictive.

It's a lot like passwords.  If they're complex enough to be secure, people use post-it notes.

The real question is whether or not the user has the authority to by-pass it and whether or not the firewall admin has the authority to be so restrictive in the first place.

And you do, of course, mean to observe your organization's Internet security
policies, right?  Organizations put firewalls in place for a reason.
