An issue I’ve had for some time, is logging straight into Cpanel from work.
Both Cpanel and Webmail are employing port 8081, and that is blocked by this employers firewall.
A NEW workaround, is to put together a cpanel proxy. A NEW Danish indivdual (Niels Andersen) provides made a PHP script that sets this way up automatically:
http: //cpanelproxy. net/
The script is opensource and can be downloaded and scrutinized.
The autoinstaller (link for the page), installs the subdomains automaticaly for yourself.
Soon after completion, you can obtain cpanel or webmail within the open port 8080.
Normally you’d probably type: domain. com/cpanel which usually would halt while behind firewalls forbidding traffic on ports rather than 8080.
It’s simple to type: cpanel. site. com and acquire access through opening 8080.
Thanks – invaluable tip as I have exactly the same firewall problem.
GIVES THANKS! Could’ve used this 30 days ago when I became able to waves some stuff at the office (locked down atm) although hey, better later than never!
