People should be aware that, if there's a corporate IT department that
has set up firewalls to block certain types of traffic, they're going to
take a very dim view of deliberate attempts to circumvent those policies.
It all depends on how much you like your job, I guess.

I would take up any problems with the corporate firewall and access with
the IT group.  If they won't work with you on it, and you can't make a strong
enough business case for the need to get management to change the policies
or make IT work with you, it's not worth doing from work.

As for the ISP blocking ports--that's simple.  Tell them to open the ports
you want, or you'll move to an ISP that will.
