So I just run an instance of OpenVPN on TCP port 443 outside the uni, pretending to be HTTP/SSL, and their firewall merrily lets the traffic through. Could probably do similar running OpenVPN on UDP port 53, pretending to be DNS if you need UDP. Just an idea instead of needing to use an HTTP proxy, might be more efficient.
