The same thing happened to us recently. I can't remember which port they blocked, but it took out rubygems, bitbucket and github in all of Utah.

It took a while before someone finally figured it out and word spread on Twitter. I'm sure hundreds of thousands if not millions of dollars of productivity were lost that day.

Future reference, github SSH can be used over 443: https://help.github.com/articles/using-ssh-over-the-https-po...

Helpful when 22 is blocked (train stations and such)

This is cool! Any open source proxy that can direct HTTP traffic to one port and SSH to another? OpenVPN supports this with the port-share option [0]

See this discussion of a lot of the options (sslh, haproxy, and a handful of other projects):

This change is also required when sbux moves to using Google internet. I was scratching my head when it worked one week and then stopped working the next.
