 From the SF docs...

  How can I access CVS services from behind a firewall? » |  doc 
feedback |  support

     Access to the project CVS servers is provided via SSH (for 
developers) and the CVS pserver protocols (for non-developers). SSH uses 
TCP port 22; CVS pserver uses TCP port 2401. Many firewalls block 
outbound traffic on these ports, thus preventing SourceForge.net 
developers and users from accessing the project CVS servers. To work 
around this limitation, we now offer the ability to connect to the 
project CVS servers using alternate ports (using different hostnames).

     To access the project CVS server using SSH from behind a firewall, 
you may connect to port 443 or port 80 of cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net. 
Traffic to port 443 and to port 80 of cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net is 
redirected to cvs.sourceforge.net. The SSH host fingerprint for 
cvs-ssh.sourceforge.net will match that of cvs.sourceforge.net.

     To access the project CVS server using anonymous pserver-based 
access from behind a firewall, you may connect to port 443 or port 80 of 
cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net. Traffic to port 443 and to port 80 of 
cvs-pserver.sourceforge.net is redirected to cvs.sourceforge.net.
