I'm currently taking a Linux class in college, and we've just gone through installing the OS and setting things up (I am no Linux expert, which is why I'm taking this class)
Long story short, for a class project, I'd like to have Eve up and running through Wine (or whatever it is one would use) on the computer. In itself, this doesn't seem like a difficult task (other than the fact that I cannot get it to work -.-) However, our school's network is behind a firewall, with only certain ports being open. I asked the admin if they could open the necessary ports for Eve to work, but they declined.
They said if I wanted to get Eve to work on campus, I would have to configure it to use one of the already-open ports.
So, I signed up for an account with a VPN service (https://www.privatetunnel.com/) and it works with windows. I can play Eve at school on my laptop with this software running, but I can't get it to work through Wine either...
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated |

Use a native linux VPN client. Maybe your distro allready got one installed, ask your local Linux expert ;-)
If the VPN works all programms, including wine, should automaticly use it to get on the internet. |

I'm quite the linux / networking noob... wouldn't I need a computer off campus for the ssh tunnel to work? (which I do not have)
Or is there a linux version of the service I linked earlier? |

Yes, for an ssh tunnel you need an ssh server outside of the campus network.
Use VPN if you allready got a vpn server, most ditros have an vpn client installed by default. To tro google or ask around. |

Ok, I now have access to a windows machine outside of the network... Probably not optimal, but its all I have. Where exactly do I start? I have no idea >.<
EDIT: So I got the OpenVPN profile from the service I talked about earlier, followed the instructions, and it doesn't seem to work. A bunch of stuff in the terminal happens, then I get this:

Quote:* Disconnected (). * Looking up irc.freenonde.net * Unknown host. Maybe you misspelled it?
Maybe I just wasn't meant to use Linux....
EDIT: Saw the typo... and fixed >.<
But since I'm still behind that firewall... I cant connect |

I've managed to get a connection to my VPN service, but now there's something screwy with the DNS.
While its running, if i go to "www.google.com" int the browser, it gives me a dns failure. But if i enter google's IP address, it comes up just fine.
After I close the VPN, everything works fine again |

I guess you can configure your vpn client to use a certain DNS server. Point it to any public DNS server. 8.8.8.8 is (AFAIK) a google's one. |
