This is the easiest, and best solution if they are only blocking ports. You should try it before anything else. If it doesn't work, then you'll need to use a more elaborate method. If you can use a web browser to connect to various ssl encrypted sites, but you're still unable to use port 443 to connect to your sshd, this indicates that they are running a transparent proxy. The proxy can allow only https to go through that port. This is one reason that setting up a shell or vnc over https often works where other methods don't.
