Unless they've changed their policy in the last few months, TunnelBear won't let you use SSH over any port other than 22, so if you need to SSH into a server with a non-standard port you're out of luck.

Wait. Do you mean they actually inspect traffic and tear down the connection if they see an SSH handshake on any port other than tcp/22?
They whitelist ports, I believe. That's the reason torrents don't work, for example.
Seriously? Wow, well fuck that. If I buy a VPN, I expect data_in = data_out , not sanitized(data_out)
Yeah, my understanding is they whitelist standard ports, and everything else is blocked. They say it's because of BitTorrent, but it prevented me from accessing a server on a non-standard port, so I didn't buy.
