Hi everybody,
I explain what i want and why i want it.
Actually ,I can't play with my favorite game because I have some problems with internet provider which activate a very hard Qos which blocking all port which are mostly known for high upload and download.
That's why I have 100% packet lost when I try to connect eve which is using the port number 26000.
Can I change a setting somewhere to switch the game port to something smaller then 500.
And if you want to know who is my provider the answear is :FREE in France.
And I want to make my "MEA CULPA" for all words that I had wrote to eve team,
I'm addict to this game what can i say else.
Thanks for your answear.

There is no way (at present) to talk directly to the servers using a different port number.
There was talk a while ago about CCP opening up different port numbers to allow people with problems like yours an alternate port to connect to, this has yet to happen though.
The only other way to connect over a different port at present is to use a proxy server on another PC.
I would probably suggest looking at changing your ISP as I would not stand for port throttling in the way you discribe.

This problem seems somewhat related to this post: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=255943

You will need something like this HTTP tunnel:
http://www.htthost.com/download.boa
Basically you change EVE to use "localhost" as server and send the network traffic via a external proxy server masquerading the traffic as web requests.
This
a) slows down your connection speed as the packets need to be wrapped into HTTP packets
b) sends your password to an outside, uncertain location
If you can live with that it should work.

Which I was asked to shut down by CCP. Altho I privatly play through this connection via vpn and it works perfect as always (just like it did when everyone else had the CW.net problems).
So until CCP gives me an OK to open it to players again I will have to have it remained shut down. :/ Sorry.

Hi there.
I have the same problem at one place where some ports are blocked. My main connection is unrestricted though.
I have found a solution to this by using http://www.networkactiv.com/AUTAPF.html to forward the port. It works similar to a proxy I guess but if you find a friend that lets it run on his pc for you I think there should not be a problem.
This is how it works:
I connect to my home pc with unrestricted internet access using a different port. This program grabs all the data and forwards it to the eve server on port 26000.
Maybe this helps.
I wonder though why even doesnt want Chribba to run that proxy.

I would like to bring this topic back to suggest that CCP re-allow the old eve-search proxy in a semi-official capacity.
My rationale for doing so would be thus:
1) People who found out about the feature too late or were otherwise unable to use his proxy will inevitably resort to other proxies.
2) Said random proxies are typically run anonymously, and there can be no guarantee that sensitive information such as passwords remains untouched
Therefore:
3) The removal of the original proxy has caused far greater potential harm than any number of simple methods to ensure its genuinity would.
From a utilitarian standpoint, the willful termination of his free service cannot in any way be described as helping as great a number of people as leaving it be would have.
In creating this problem through deliberate and unnecessary intervention (based on not only a legal fiction with no current judicial standing, an EULA, but a misinterpretation thereof), CCP has therefore removed a reputable, safe alternative to the thousands of faceless and unaccountable HTTP or similar proxies.
Given that the individual who previously offered the service has been not only deeply integrated into the EVE community, but has created various services to compensate for certain oversights of the current administration of his own volition and using his own personal time, falling victim to a weak right-wing hypothetical based on security over liberties seems impossibly absurd.
If the administration feels the need to add a layer of disambiguation to ensure accountability, or limit their own potential liability, I am sure the individual in question would not object.
Please recognize that a significant portion of your potential market, one which has been growing steadily of late due to massive word-of-mouth campaigns on several popular forums, is inhibited in its ability to enjoy the use of your product through frequently arbitrary and overbroad port blocking or traffic restrictions on the part of their providers. Recognize also that in many cases, these individuals have approached their providers with their objections, and have been summarily dismissed or trivialized. For many of us, we have exhausted any reasonable potential alternative to work around or remove the issue, and simply use proxies as a "last resort" option.
I hope any at CCP who read this will, if not permit reinstitution of the original service, at least work with us to develop a viable alternative, instead of throwing us to the wolves through irrational blanket prohibitions.

Here's a good link explaining how to do a DIY project if you have a machine that you can use for HTTP tunneling:

I got some good news and some bad news for all you peeps. I've just found a very easy way of working around a very b*tchy firewall (the kind that only lets HTTP through). And the best part - you don't need to set up a server at all by yourself!
The bad news: I fear CCP will block the IP address of the server that I'm using if people start using this method so I'm afraid I can't reveal which provider I'm on. In fact there could be more of these kinds of services around. However if you do manage to find one, don't expect the speed to be always great, I am currently restricted to 64Kbit which, combined with extra lag/HTTP processing, I think would be pretty bad for anything more than small skirmishes.
