Gunbound

Kenshin · 09-15-2006, 02:06 AM

I can' t play gunbound in my unversity. Could anyone help me to bypass the firewall or any other idea to play in my U ? HTTP-tunnel doesn't help...

GunBound is a real pain in the butt.

You'll need to tunnel port 8372 to the world list server, port 8352 to the buddy list server, and ports 8360-8363 to the various game servers.

The additional problem is that the IP's of these servers change and are not published on GunBound.net. You have to contact GunBound Customer Care to get the current IP list.

Any recommended software to tunnel these port ? It's quite difficult for me....

I would probably start with netcat or netcat.

Before I started, however, I would find out:

What ports my university allowed in and out
How much trouble I could get in for violating the universities IT policies
What IP addresses and ports Gunbound is currently using officially from Gunbound Customer Support

How can i get the ip address....

No idea for it....

I try to email them already, but they dont answer anything about the ip address....

They should be telling you the IP addresses that you need to connect to them. Or, they might be telling you the hostnames, which are effectively equivalent.

If not, you can get this same data from your firewall or router, if you have one.

If you don't have a firewall or router, you can get this data by running the `netstat -a` command while running Gunbound.

I tried to ask the custumer support once again. Now waiting for the answer.
But anyway, i try netstat -a while running gunbound, i found this 61.74.68.176:8444.
This is the broker.gunbound.net ip ? If yes, by using netcat, how the syntax looks like ?
Is it "nc -l -p (open port in my U) 61.74.68.176 8444" ?

Where is the box where you are running netcat from?

You must send the packets from your PC to the netcat box, which will then forward them to the Gunbound server.

Kenshin · 09-25-2006, 11:50 AM

The box ? U mean nc.exe ?

Will.Spencer · 09-25-2006, 12:52 PM

To get around the firewall, you will need to forward packets from your local computer to a remote computer (box) running netcat. You will do this on an open port, such as port 80.

Then, netcat will forward the packets - on the correct port - to the Gunbound servers.

I just want to make sure we're clear on that.

Kenshin · 09-26-2006, 10:08 AM

Hehe....
I guess i know what u mean.
The problem is i dont have any box....

Nvm... I learned a lot here...

Thanks will.

Assume that the box out of my U is listening at port 80 (nc -L -p 80 -e cmd.exe -d), and i connected to it (nc -v xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 80) [pls correct me if somethings wrong]. Then what is the next step to tunnel all these ports ?
I dont know how the command line looks like. May it explain in step by step ?

OK, let's think this through together.

For Gunbound, you will need to redirect multiple ports. Let's focus first on port 8372, the world list server port.

On your gaming PC, you want to redirect the outbound connection to port 8372 to instead send traffic to port 80 on your remote PC.

To get the data to your server, you tell Gunbound that the world list server is on port 80 of your remote computer.

Then, on your remote computer, you tell netcat to listen on port 80:

Code:

nc -l 80

But wait... we also want to send that data onto the world list server, so how do we do that? Let's pipe the data from netcat to netcat!

Code:

nc -l 80 | nc xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 8372

Make sense?

Kenshin · 10-03-2006, 05:40 AM

Is it this mean "nc xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 8372" is to connect to world list server while "nc -l 80" is to set my remote pc
to listen on port 80 ?

Then combine it together so that the data get from port 8372 will send to port 80 ?

If I'm correct, to get data from my remote pc, is it my gaming pc have to connect to it by "nc [remote pc IP] 80" ? (I'm trying to think before you give me the answer)

By the way, any configuration about the gunbound game in my pc ?

Kenshin · 10-08-2006, 10:08 AM

Any can help ?
I really know nothing about netcat....
