So I'm at college and the firewall here doesn't let me connect to various games, Soldat being one of them. I was wondering if there is a way to bypass or get through the firewall and play Soldat.

thats pretty weird that it would restrict outgoing connections.

The short answer to your question is that no, if they block it there is nothing you can do about it, sorry

Well I'm not sure if it's the firewall that stops me, but everytime I try to get on the lobby server it won't let me, even though I have a perfect connection. That sucks for me!

what happens when you try connecting to a server directly?

I know that some college are really lame about their firewalls, and they block any ports that they don't know what it does, since apparently their sysadmins have a fear of the unknown
