Wait. Do you mean they actually inspect traffic and tear down the connection if they see an SSH handshake on any port other than tcp/22?

They whitelist ports, I believe. That's the reason torrents don't work, for example.

Seriously? Wow, well fuck that. If I buy a VPN, I expect data_in = data_out , not sanitized(data_out)

Yeah, my understanding is they whitelist standard ports, and everything else is blocked. They say it's because of BitTorrent, but it prevented me from accessing a server on a non-standard port, so I didn't buy.
