So you guys have probably seen this before...but I can't seem to find threads on this topic. I am behind a university firewall that limits the bandwidth on online games and bittorrent ports and the such. I really want to play counter-strike source. Thats it. What solutions do I have to get past this firewall? SSH server? VPN? Proxy servers? Please reply soon.

To be honest, many uni firewalls will let you play online games without problems, its the high bandwidth things they have a problem. In southampton, we used to play on xbox live all day long. I heard about a programme called Winsock, which disguises packets you send, but I have no idea if that programme still exists, worth a shot!
