Anyone know how to get around blocked ports?

You know, you're being paid to actually.. you know.. WORK! Get to it.

God you're a douche-bag. I hope that sort of attitude really sends you soaring through the workplace ranks, man, it's obvious you deserve it. Reminds me of Cerelum.

Actually, that attitude probably -will- help him, in some career paths. The only thing I have to add is that the unemployment rate isn't high because guys are getting fired for dipshittery. People are being laid off because some places just can't afford the labor. I, for one, wasn't laid off for doing a bad job; there just wasn't any work left for me in my struggling company!

I wouldn't waste too much time analyzing that kind of verbal diarrhea.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm eating breakfast and sipping espresso over a good book, on company time. Stop distracting me.

Keep your preaching to yourself, Puritan. None of us want to hear it.  Goofing off at work is a time-honor pastime.

I verified this solution does work.  Note that SSH is port 22 (UDP & TCP).

As long as you can SSH to a shell host and that host can connect to 'ginka.armageddon.org 4050',  it can be made to work.  
From a monitoring stand point, the only thing that will be seen is SSH encrypted traffic between your workstation and the host you are SSHed into.

The terminal/PUTTY tunnel settings just need to be set up similar to below:
Source port (local): 9999
Destination (remote): ginka.armageddon.org:4050

After SSHing into the shell account you should be able to point your mud client to localhost(127.0.0.1) port 9999 and get the mantis head.

I logged into the mud twice to verify it was seeing my connection from the address of the shell bastion.  It worked perfectly.  Great solution Twilight!

Yeah, Jester's solution works.  Also it's very difficult to monitor so it's unlikely you would get in trouble.  You can set up a professional proxy server for something like $40 a month if you don't know how to build one at home.  PM me if you need help doing this.

Having figured this out for myself because hospital wifi is incredibly locked down, I'm posting it here for others:

First: Sign up for tunnelr, go to http://www.tunnelr.com You get a 48 hours (or 25mb) free trial. After that it's $5 a month if you want to continue using it.

If you are a mac user, open up terminal and input this command:

ssh -p 80 yourusername@dallas.tunnelr.com -L4051:ginka.armageddon.org:4050 -N

Then point your MUD client to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 4051, and...

I'm sure you can do this same thing on windows with PuTTy but I'm not sure how, having not done it.
