Re: Need help with ISP firewall



i agree...chances are, it is mostly the local router NATing the
traffic. ISPs have no business blocking chatting protocols.

But if it is infact the ISP, one option is to look for open proxy, or
possibly have someone you know set up an ssh tunneling proxy to mask
the data.

I'm US military currently in Ecuador. We use the local ISP here and
starting about a week ago, we haven't been able to webcam or make PC to
phone calls using Yahoo messenger. When I attempt to, I get a message
saying it appears I'm behind a firewall, this message even appears when
I disable the firewall on my laptop. Is there a way to get around this
firewall so I can web cam with my wife and kids? Several of us have
brought this issue to the attention of our computer folks but they
can't seem to get a solution worked out with the locals. Thanks for
any help.
