Change Outgoing Port for Remote Desktop

[cchen]

I recently started a new job and wanted to use Remote Desktop to connect to my home computer. Unfortunately, IT blocks the default outgoing port. Is there a way to change the outgoing port that is used?

Also, check with IT to make sure they don't mind you connecting their computer to yours. Punching holes in the network like that, you ask first.

Hopefully IT isn't stupid and blocks all outgoing traffic by default and only allows stuff going through an application level proxy and as few exceptions by protocol/IP as possible. It's still fairly easy to work around that, but you should just be asking them to help you out anyway.
