As long as you want to hear back from the server you send a packet to, you’ll always be able to “reverse tunnel” into a firewall. This is because source ports are ephemerally allocated, which is a necessity unless you want to have a maximum of one HTTP connection at a time. That said, a proper firewall implementation would only allow traffic back to a source port that is in the routing table as having an established connection. But that’s a stateful firewall (vs. stateless) and comes with its own set of complexities.
