I want to play a game which is hosted on port 25565 (minecraft!), but my university firewall does not allow this port.
I have a dedicated server running linux not too far from uni, so I think there's a way to tunnel through it (but I've never done this before and have no knowledge/experience of tunnelling)
It would probably be slow, but it's better than not being able to play at all. Is it possible to do using only SSH, or do I need other client/server software? My server has OpenSSH installed. Also, the computer I'm using to play the game is running Ubuntu.
I've tried searching but there seem to be so many different solutions to different types of problem =/
