I would like to connect to my home PC from work, but the firewall at work only allows access to the standard ports (eg 80, 443). I've read that it is possible to tunnel through a firewall on port 443 using SSH.
I've installed cygwin on my home pc and realVNC. I can't get RealVNC to operate if I set the port to 80 or 443 (although it works fine on any other port when testing it locally). I just get a page not found error when using the java applet and either of these ports.
Does anyone know firstly why I can't set realVNC just to use port 80 or 443 (I'm not running a web server on my home PC. I have McAfee Firewall but have opened these ports, and secondly how to configue cygwin to allow secured access?
I can't use any other connection tools like LogMeIn as access to the web sites for these products all appear to have been blocked by the firewall at work.
Thanks
