Hi
Proxying works on a per-service basis, you have a web proxy, an ftp proxy, 
a mail proxy, etc. A web proxy can not be used for ssh, and AFAIK an ssh 
proxy is not really possible as it would break a whole load of things.

If your current location has blocked telnet and ssh (ports 23 and 22) then 
you can not use those ports. Of course if there are other ports open (eg 
20, 8080) then you could reconfigure an ssh server to listen to those ports 
instead, and then tunnel all sorts of traffic through that.
