HTTPort - Bypass an HTTP proxy

HTTPort allows you to bypass an HTTP proxy, which is blocking you from the Internet. With HTTPort you may use the following software (just a sample list, not limited to !) from behind an HTTP proxy: e-mail, IRC, ICQ, news, FTP, AIM, any SOCKS capable software, etc. etc.

The basic idea is that you set up your Internet software in such a manner, that it considers your local PC to be a remote server it needs. This is where HTTPort enters. It intercepts connection from this software and runs the connection through the proxy - this is called a tunneling. Your software should use TCP/IP. HTTPort does not work with UDP/IP. There are two ways you can set up your software for use with HTTPort:

  1. If your software uses a single (small range of) fixed server with a single (small range of) fixed port: For instance your software would like to connect to some.server.com:some_port. Create a new HTTPort mapping, with any local port, preferably above 1024, remote server of "some.server.com" and remote port of "some_port". Point your software to 127.0.0.1:mapped_local_port as if it was the original server it needs.

  2. If your software can connect through SOCKS4 proxy: Point your software to 127.0.0.1:1080, which is a built-in HTTPort SOCKS4 server.
