Some quick tips: If you have root on your remote host, you can run ssh on port 443. As SSL traffic cannot be proxied, you can pass-through most firewalls. (This implies you’re not running HTTPS on your remote host.)

You can also use “plink” (get from the same place as “putty”) to open a session without opening a shell to your remote host.

You can also use pageant to automate public-key auth.
