About:
Ping Tunnel is a tool for reliably tunneling TCP connections over ICMP echo request and reply packets (commonly known as ping requests and replies). It is useful for evading firewalls that, for whatever reason, prevent outgoing TCP connections, but allow in- and outgoing ICMP packets. The tunnel works by having a proxy run on a machine ping-able from the inside of the firewall, with the client running on the local machine from which TCP access is required.

[»] Works very well
by Melo - May 26th 2005 10:35:11

Downloaded version 0.61 on my Mac OS X 10.3.9, and into
my Fedora Core 3 server. Compiled clean on both
environments.

Run it and it worked first time.

Excelent!
