How to access a web server behind a firewall?

[HaunsTM]

Hi all!

I apologize if I post this to the wrong forum. I'm new here.

I have tried to illustrate my WLAN/LAN/Internet situation:

I am looking for ways to access
(1) my (own) web server (with IIS 6/Apache) (HTTP)
(2) my IP/Network cam (RTSP)

from my smartphone (3) from "Internet". I am a .NET-system developer but my networking skills are very poor.


My problem is that there are obstacles, i e an evil firewall (4). Since my web server (1) and IP/Network (2) cam are behind it (4), I have absolutely no idea how to access them from my smart phone (3) from Internet.
My ISP doesn't allow port forwarding, but I know that there is a Socks5 server which I can reach @port 1080. I believe that I can use it somehow?



My question:
Is it possible to reach my web server at all from outside the firewall? How? Are there any other solutions for me except for changing my ISP?

With best regards,
Hans

Who is this ISP service? Sounds like internet service being provided by an apartment management company/landlord. What is the level of service they will provide? Did they tell you why they won't reconfigure their firewall?

Hi zx10guy!

Thank you very much for your answer! You are absoulutely right, it is my apartment management company who acts as the ISP. Actually, I have no idea of why they don't reconfigure their firewall. I have been told (from them) that is a policy and nothing more.

Please read this keeping in mind that I'm a total networking technique novice: Is it possible for me to fetch a video stream om my mobile internet phone from the IP camera inside MyAppartment_Network ?

You would actually have to know how the video was being streamed and what port it needs. I am sure it is a simple matter of port forwarding, but if your "ISP" will not configure the router or firewall to do this you are probably out of luck.

And what if everyone wanted to do what you wanted to do. That can't be done with the Network configuration they have. Get your own Internet connection if you don't like their TOS.

Thanks for all replies! I realize that I probably will have to change my ISP if I should be able to broadcast my IP Cam videostream...
