How can I connect to common-lisp.net through a restrictive firewall via ssh?
+
+
Some firewall administrators are paranoid enough to disallow
+ outgoing connections to the ssh port, but they often allow
+ connections to e.g. the https port. For these cases, we have SSH
+ running on non-standard ports on shell.common-lisp.net. The
+ https port is the most common one that is left open, but
+ sometimes others are open, too. So ssh on shell.common-lisp.net
+ accepts connections to ports 21 (ftp), 22 (ssh), 23 (telnet), 80
+ (www) and 443 (https).
+
+
To find out which ports your firewall lets through, Try to
+ connect to the ports in order:
+
+
If a port is blocked by the firewall, you'll see something like this:
+
+
+$ telnet shell.common-lisp.net 443
+Trying 86.59.21.101...
+telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
+
+
+
The error message may differ, depending on the firewall's
+ configuration.
+
+
If you can connect to a port, you'll see something similar to this:
+
+
+$ telnet shell.common-lisp.net 443
+Trying 86.59.21.101...
+Connected to shell.common-lisp.net.
+Escape character is '^]'.
+SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_3.8.1p1 Debian-8.sarge.4
+
+
+
If you found a port number that works for you, put the
+ following segment in the ~/.ssh/config file and substitute the
+ port that you found:
+
+
+Host common-lisp.net
+ Port 443 # substitute the port number you found for 443.
+ HostName shell.common-lisp.net
+
+
+
If none of the ports on shell.common-lisp.net work for you,
+ but you can connect to https web sites, you may be running
+ behind a transparent https proxy. In that case, software like
+ corkscrew (http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/) may help you
+ connect to common-lisp.net.
