I often have to work behind "smoothwall". AFAIK, it only allows HTTP over port 80 and HTTPS on port 443 - any other protocol on any other port gets blocked, including other protocols over port 80/443.

To bypass this, I wrote a simple ruby script to tunnel TCP connections, while adding fake HTTP headers to get through the firewall.

With only a bit of extra state-machine glue, you'd have a clean and standards-compliant websocket-based VPN.

Can you share that script?

obfsproxy with obfs3 as a pluggable transport does somthing similar, it's made for tor bridges but i'm sure you could use it for vpn traffic too.
