How to: Accessing your control panel from behind a firewall.
Ok, here is the scenario:
I am behind a work firewall.
I don't know what outgoing ports are open except that websites on port 80 will work, any sites on a non standard port will not.
My control panel port is https://url:8443
I know how to change the port using the iptables method mentioned elsewhere on this forum.
My problem is that I can't find a port to put it on that will work with the firewall. Obviously, I can't put it on port 80 since apache is already running on that port.
Or could I put an IPtables rule that maps port 80 traffice for a certain IP or domain to port 8443? Any solution to this would be so awesome.
Thanks.
