Accessing programs via FreeBsd through terminal

S

Hi everyone,

I'm very new to networking and freebsd. I live on a university campus and I am trying to use a program called slingplayer that accesses the internet. On the university campus, there is a proxy that blocks the port slingplayer works on. However, the university has a subscription to freebsd and I have logged into it via Terminal on my mac computer.

My question is how can I use freebsd via terminal login to access slingplayer and bypass the university proxy?

I'd really appreciate any help you can give me!

Thanks,
Stephen
 
Use ssh port forwarding to forward the port slingplayer uses.
 
Any idea how to go about doing that? I know slingbox works on port 5001, but how do I forward it and open a tunnel to my computer? Do I need to be logged in to freeBSD for this?
