There are only two ways to get data through a router/firewall:

1) an outside client connects to a server behind the firewall, with the
firewall/router set up to perform port forwarding so that the outside
connection can reach the IP/port that the server is actually listening on.

2) a client behind the firewall connects to an outside server, with the
firewall/router set up to allow outgoing connections.

#2 is the easier to manage, especially since it is the usually the default
configuration for a firewall/router anyway.  #1 has its uses, though.
