Help, I'm lost! Emacs over SSH? Or something else? (alien.top)

Hi, Im not sure if this is the right platform to ask on. Long story short, Im stuck at this GIS job, massive computing experience under my belt, but close to 20% experience in GIS. Im playing around with SmallWorld locally and on a cloned repo. But they also have a Development environment on a remote server. Everyone here says theres no way to use your own Emacs version (28) on this one, except Emacs 23. Do you have any comment on this? Talk to me like Im a child. Im not sure if its an SSH setup. A senior told me it isnt (in a very thick accent). He might be bullshitting. (They use a VPN and sometthing called "f5 networks endpoint inspector")

It's all probably against the policy but if there is a free port open, you can start ssh. If not, I agree there is no way to use local emacs. I would just try to compile emacs on the remote machine which is difficult restrict if the direct or indirect internet access is allowed.

Any documents you can guide on setting that up? I'm clueless on SSH. I may have exaggarated on my computing knowledge

If you find an available open port(it's something you don't have control unless you have an access to network devices between), it's the matter of starting ssh servers like openssh, dropbear on the system.
