Running Topcoder arena applet behind University firewall
I am posting this question here after redirection from stackoverflow. I
don't know if it's appropriate or not but I'm dying to get a solution. In
our University, connections to external IP through the non standard port
is blocked as a result of which I can't run Top Coder arena applet by
filling in the proxy details (We connect through proxy). I then have to
use Tor to route the traffic through the socks for the applet. Here is
what I do :
Run tor and establish a network.
Fill in socks and proxy details in Java Control Panel
Run topcoder arena with values of socks proxy.
However, this thing doesn't work out all the time. It may connect today
and may not for next week. I can see in Tor's view network area where it
makes connection to TopCoder servers, but the connection closes. I have
tried like thousands of times. Please help me. Am I doing something wrong?
Do you have any alternatives on Ubuntu?
