At my workplace the all the port for torrent, p2p, mirc and other non related work was close. As my hard disk still have many space I need to fill it up mp3 song :D . After googling I found out you can tunneling irc through IRC port. So what tool or information do you need?

1. OpenSSH
2. Outside server where you have account in there (I’m using my friend server in Japan).
3. The name of IRC server you want to connect and the port number - 6667

The command

#ssh -L 6667:irc_servername:6667 user@someserver.com

After you login just leave it there. Open your IRC and set the server to connect to localhost

Thats all.

***Update 1***

Got some problem when try downloading the mp3 file because DCC is using port range from 1024-5000. So its not practical to tunnel every port and at the moment I dun know how to tunnel range of port. Jeffry suggest using IPTable. In theory maybe that can work. I’ll try tomorrow and will update here later.
