If you have even one single port open outgoing, all you need is to get a remote Plan 9/Inferno exporting /net on that port. I did it on port 22 while I was waiting for the import port to be opened. #on the outside box aux/listen1 -t 'tcp!*!22' /bin/exportfs #from the inside import -A tcp!remote!22 /net You're using p9p so your mileage may vary... but the basic concept is sound and allows you to completely avoid the firewall, assuming you can actually use a remote /net on p9p. If not, well, you should run a real Plan 9 :) John -- "I've tried programming Ruby on Rails, following TechCrunch in my RSS reader, and drinking absinthe. It doesn't work.
