I lost, obviously. Historically, I've used <a href="http://www.nocrew.org/software/httptunnel.html" rel="nofollow">GNU httptunnel</a> to get a SSH connection out, but I might check out Corkscrew as well. Cheers for the tip. Sadly, I’ve had the outbound 22 argument before with ITS. I lost, obviously.

At least when I was at TAFE, they allowed outbound port 22, even though every single other port was blocked. (Probably they had some Linux guy in some department that convinced them to allow it. Kudos to whoever he/she is.) You could try running SSH or OpenVPN on TCP port 443 at home, and that should allow you to get through their HTTP proxies (provided it's only a URL-based or port 80-only block). OpenVPN has built-in support for HTTP proxies (use the <code>http-proxy</code> option in your configuration). SSH is a little tricker, as it doesn't have built-in support. If your university uses HTTP proxies, then <a href="http://www.agroman.net/corkscrew/" rel="nofollow">Corkscrew</a> is your answer. If it uses SOCKS proxies, then you can use <a href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">tsocks</a>, which is a little easier than Corkscrew. Ah, how unlucky.
