How to access a web server behind a firewall?

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

 

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.

 

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...
