All,
I have a machine at my parents house that is behind a ISPs firewall. Console only. No X-Windows, etc.
I've tried to open up the ssh port in the firewall but it is not working. Maybe the ISP is blocking it even earlier.
Is there a service that allows that machine to open an outbound connection, and then somehow from my house tie into that connection for ssh service?
This is effectively what gotomypc does for Windows boxes.
FYI: I am not concerned about security on this machine / connection. I just need to get into it for administration.
If the ISP is blocking ssh traffic, you could make sshd listen on another port - e.g. some obscure number above 30000.

That method can not differentiate an ISP blockage from: a blockage at his local hardware router, or a block by his local opensuse firewall, or a block by virtue of having nothing listening on the port.
I'm betting the hardware firewall is not forwarding port 22. --
It is happening somewhere I can't control. If I'm on the LAN with my laptop, no problem. If I'm remote, I see nothing. I tried to open up the port in the DSL modem, but it had no effect. I suspect they are blocking it at the ISP itself, so I don't have access to that system.
