ANY IT guys answer this?

I have this on my phone. It works great but too small. Might as well browse your smart phone...

I see where youre getting at. In my situation, traffic on 22 was blocked. However, I had all ssh traffic being handled on 443 (HTTPS).

Depending on the appliance you use, I can see how they can block the fingerprint of SSH traffic. I just dont know if Blue Coat alone can do this.

I am an IT Security Engineer too and plenty of my colleagues do this.

On any enterprise that "knows" what they are doing, they would be blocking connections similar to "Go To My PC" or even standard RDP/VNC

If an enterprise allows such connections, its obviously not very secure.
