> Considering SSH is forbidden in most enterprise networks I've seen, your attitude is clearly in the minority.

You can't really forbid SSH (on paper only you can) since you can create SSH tunnels via virtually any port.



Of course, but they still make an effort (and a policy that will be applied to you if found out). They have to, it's their responsibility. If suddenly half the network is saturated by people using browsers to torrent the latest movies, you can bet that the answer won't be "we need a bigger pipe"...


The enterprise networks I’ve been on don’t give endpoints direct internet access. You can only access the web through an authenticated proxy. This forbids SSH, unless you set up additional infrastructure to tunnel it in HTTP.
