College won't allow listening on ports, and they have him behind a NAT.
One thing about NAT. It's not just a matter of opening ports. You have to map that port to the desired computer. Since they're likely using DHCP, the address of that computer could change with time, unless they lock that IP address to a specific MAC address. This is likely more "support" than they're willing to offer.
No, that's a non starter, because at the dorm, he has no control of the NAT router. Which is exactly why he has to use an outward connection from behind the nat to some reachable machine. This is why Greg's suggestion seems to hold the most promise. Its clear that the cloud machine that Greg mentioned is going to need to be reachable, but it appears like neither of the two endpoints of the ssh connection need public ips. This is classic firewall piercing, like Skype has done for years. -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
