[Gllug] OT: Announcement

[Xander D Harkness]

I know it would still require external bandwidth but could you not run 
something like:

ssh -R 80:localIP:80 remoteIP

This (if I have the ports correct) should forward the local firewalled 
traffic to port 80 to a remote box that is not using port 80 and will 
now become a web server.  You can do this on many different ports so you 
can throw out 443 and other ports [ yes a little redundant considering 
it is already encrypted] or 6667

Cheers
Xander
