Squid (or most any other https proxy) can usually be set up to tunnel
aribitrary TCP streams, assuming it allows users to specify port
numbers, like https://www.example.com:4000/
The only thing needed is to send the appropriate CONNECT string after
the connect to squid is opened. After the CONNECT string, squid just
passes bytes back and forth.
I'm not sure I understand the original problem... Two hosts configured
to be on seperate subnets but on the same wire? Two hosts with some kind
of layer 2 device blocking connectivity between them but on the same
subnet?
