Hi,

I am looking for some firewall bypass software for Mac OS X (like Java, linux, unix, if open source). Similar to www.hopster.com or bypass.cc where there is a server and client.

Thanks!

What exactly are you looking at doing? And where is your server going to be? What does the server run? What protocols are you looking at proxy'ing?

I want to have something like this:

I will run a client on the computer at work that will route all outgoing traffic via HTTP protocol (not just port) to a server running on my home computer, that will then get it form the web where it is not blocked. It will return that to the client over the HTTP protocol and the client will return it back to the apps as if nothing happened.

Thanks!

It sounds like you are looking for a proxy server. That will just work for specific ports, but is a well thought out system, and MacOS X already has all the hooks necessary so that you can set things once, and most programs will handle it fine.

On the server side there are a lot of options, go over to www.freshmeat.net and search for "proxy server" and you will have some to choose from.
