Trying to get ssh working via putty from behind my company firewall.
My recommendation is to get access to an outside machine where you run an OpenVPN server on port 80 or 443. This will solve it "once and for all". But first, please complain loudly and repeatedly about the firewall being closed to port 22.
Tried and failed. Our firewall will be closed to port 22 for the forseaable future. I'll give the OpenVPN thing a go, if I can find some time. I'm wondering about a couple of things: 1. how many people (in the haskell community) have the same problem? How have they solved or worked around the problem? 2. is it possible to run SSH daemons on monk and nun on ports 80 or 443? I'm wondering both from a technical feasability POV, and also an administrative POV i.e. if it were technically feasible, would the admins be open to the idea, if there was sufficient demand?
