Hi! I'm in a situation where my firewall blocks port 9999.

I can successfully connect to BBO using the old Windows client by setting up an SSH proxy, and editing bbover.ini to point to localhost where the proxy will forward the packets. Works fairly well.

So is there a way I can do the same with the Flash client, or am I stuck with the old Windows client?

Best regards,
Mojo

the web client uses a similar conn to port 3336 on a different set of machines

If you can connect out via port 80, try this

http://www.bridgebas...ent.php?port=80

If that doesnt do it for you, drop me a line at uday@and i'll find you an ans, if possible.

Seems to me if you have such proxy, you have to direct packages intended to BBO server to proxy via routing table.

If you modify the client to point to proxy instead of BBO server, how does the proxy know how to reach the real BBO server once packets get there?

Awesome, it works fine on port 80!

Gerardo, I'd have to pick one of the bbo.bridgebase.com servers by IP address and set up the SSH tunnel to go specifically to that one. Not a great solution. I can put bbo.bridgebase.com in my hosts table as 127.0.0.1 and it will feed the tunnel.
