If he/she rents a private VPS, will he/she need a Toolserver account then? :P

I need to manage my toolserver account, but i dont have Internet at my house. I talk a long time with the admin at my work, but SSH is restricted. I only can use 80 and 443 accros a proxy.
Since toolserver won't run ssh on port 443, and you need ssh on port 443, the easiest solution is to run ssh on port 443 on a computer you control.
You can rent a cheap virtual shared server for $20 or less per month. The resources required for ssh are very minimal, so the cheapest plan will be sufficient. Install ssh on that server, make it listen on port 443, and you're done.
If you don't want to spend the money to rent a server, and have a friend with internet access, you might be able to convince them to make their ssh server listen on port 443, and give you shell access on their computer.
As a final option, perhaps you can find a public library that has computers on which you can run a java ssh client, and carry your private key on a usb drive.
