    I want to setup a VPN from my school connection so I can use services that are blocked like Bittorrent. The problem is the school has all except a select few ports blocked. Is there a way to see which ports are open? How would I setup the VPN with my home computer?

    What about using SSH to tunnel into the home computer?

    To be honest, I think you need to do a bit of searching (both here and via google) and really decide what the best thing to do and what VPNing entails.
