If the browser-based console is also blocked, there's something fishy going around, since that doesn't use SSH.

In any case, you can try proxying SSH over SSL using stunnel: http://askubuntu.com/questions/423727/ssh-tunneling-over-ssl

Or you could try setting up OpenVPN, it's easy enough.

I didn't want to spend too much time poking around, but it seemed odd to me too (wrt the browser-console). Cheers for the stunnel/OpenVPN thoughts, they ought to get through. It would be great if SSH could itself emulate SSL, in the modern context of increased security requirements and censorship.
