Damned Firewall

    Hello,

    Just started working in a new company, let's call it company X... anyway company X has stopped internet access except for certain addresses ... i presume they did this by allowing, lets say 159.137.*.* ip's thru the firewall.

    This has the impact of allowing me access my personal webpage, which I have access to from my home PC which is always on as it's DSL.

    I was wondering and thinking of a few ideas of how I could use this to my advantage in granting greater access to the web during boring days in work...

    If I can access the page I can respond to <form> commands. let's take the most basic email style form, where an email is sent to a corresponding address. My home pc will obviously be able to receive this email, as well as ftp files/pages to the accessible website.

    Is there any way I can send commands thru this website (generic ISP homepage job ... so obviously cant set up proxy server) and let my PC at home fulfill the requests and upload them to my accessible website!

    Any ideas anyone? :)

    CGI:Proxy
    It's on Sourceforge - Unsure if that's the system you mean, but works well.
    Note : To access SSL Sites, you will need Net::Ssleay perl moduled installed [I prob got latter bit of name bunched - read docs anyhows, their not too big ...]
