My university "nannies" our wifi connections to what it regards as ports
that "secure" protocols use, blocking all else. 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.

That idea crossed my mind, though the ports likely to be open are all in use already,which is why being able to overload an apache port with a NameVirtual Host as proxy sounds so useful, except for the auth issue...
