The KGB Oracle Forums General Public Discussion (PUBLIC) The Pub KGB web site and firewalls

THere is a very simple way around it( and a less simple ways around it depending your skill and setup).

Very Simple way: If you have WindowsXP PRO or MCE at home, and fast enough connection, you can use remotedesktop to by pass the firewall. Linux desktop (MAC OSX too I believe, but I do not have one to verify) with XWindows can do simular with proggie like XWin32 to redirect your X-Windows Desktop.

Then there are ssh tunnels, and other ways that get into more black magic then I wish to go into here hehe.
