Let's say the firewall blocks the incoming port, but not the outgoing traffic.
If you're responsible for the firewall, and don't like that: change it.
If you're a happy user: choose between (1) silence and (2) suggesting the responsible department to change it

So my question is a little vague, but I figured someone here may be able to explain how this is happening.
At work, I am behind a very strict firewall, not sure exactly what the hardware is, but it blocks a large majority of traffic, in particular remote desktop ports.
As it stands, no one at the office is able to remote in to a computer outside the network. However, after setting up my home PC for remote connections, I found that I was able to remote in from the office. The home PC is using the default RD port (3389) and is behind a ddwrt setup using ddns.
We tried figuring out how this was possible, but couldn't come up with any solutions. Would anyone have some insight as to the possibilities here?
