Large Company Firewall Blocking Pantheon's Dynamic Server Names and IPs

[gluskin-samuel]

I'm a Drupal developer building an Apigee Drupal Developer Portal at a large company. I'm employed by and working on-site at the large company.

Git access, SFTP, Pantheon's terminal app Terminus with built-in Drush as well as access to the Drupal database require access to ports that are blocked (2222 and 11747).

The keepers of the firewall said they could help me if I gave them the host names and IP addresses of the servers where those ports lived.

Pantheon's system is entirely virtualized with dynamic everything. No static IP or host names to give to the firewall guy.

Pantheon shared with me two docs which I'm including here. Before I jump and try to get the tunneling solution to work, I'm curious to hear if any other folk have faced this problem.

Here are the docs Pantheon provided:

• Port 2222 Blocked Workaround
• Dynamic Outgoing IP Addresses

Thanks in advance for your wisdom.

BTW here are the original docs

• Port 2222 Blocked workaround
• Dynamic Outgoing IP Addresses.

The ssh tunnel works pretty easily. I used that successfully when I was working on a restricted network.
