ObJLF: Find a buddy (or buddies) with unblocked Internet connectivity who happens not to be using a standard port(s) that you want to provide a service(s) on. Use ssh to create a secure tunnel(s) that connects your buddy's unblocked standard port to whatever port on 127.0.0.1 on your box. Simple. For SMTP: root@buddysbox$ ssh -L 25:127.0.0.1:25 my.box.mit.lame.isp.in.cn ObJLF: Git yer damn tunnel offa *MY* system! Yer wastin' MY bandwidth and MY CPU with yer tunnel crap.
