If anyone is interested and if this is what you want to do, here is something that I did. I used an ssh tunnel to break out of a corporate firewall to an ssh server and had the ssh server port forward to the cvsnt server. I had posted the same info a couple of days ago on this list. I think it is a fairly good alternative to using an HTTP tunnel. The downside, of course, is that you need to have access to another trusted ssh server outside the firewall. http://www.lostcommunity.org/forum/messages.asp?message=14560 Rajan. ----Original Message Follows---- >Tony Hoyle <tmh at nothing-on.tv> writes: > > >>Proxy support relied on buggy & misconfigured proxies... on any properly >>configured site it wouldn't work anyway. > > >I don't know whether my organisation's firewall is buggy or >misconfigured.

So WinCVS 1.2 is >the only way I have of getting access to external CVS repositories. > Any proxy that enables the external 'CONNECT' command the the old cvs used, effectively doesn't have an outgoing (and incoming, if the proxy is externally visible) firewall on the enabled ports. This method can also be used to break into LANs using private IP addresses.

There's probably others.
