I have a server at work which is behind a firewall (the company's firewall) so it is reachable only thrugh port 22 (SSH). I'm able to connect to the server with putty without problems.
Also, that server has Apache running and listening on port 80 as usual.
But I cant connect to the website using my browser since port 80 (and everyone else) is blocked by the company's firewall.

Is there a way I can make my browser to connect to Apache in that server so I can browse the site I'm working on?

Thanks.
