You can use ssh port forwarding to by pass web content fileter. What i did was set a machine up at home to listen for ssh on port 443. Then i would create a ssh port forward to localhost:1000 set my browser to use a proxy at localhost 1000 and bame all my traffic ssh encrypted went out over 443 and no more content filtering. The cool thing was since logged 443 traffic is usually encrypted anyway no red flags.

Let me know if you want more info,
