How do you access that public machine? Sit directly in front or?

Depending on how their proxy handles https, simpler solutions probably
exist as well.
They might just let https directly through based on port alone, in which case
you will be able to connect via ssh to my router (ssh -p443 hokum.dyndns.org),
which I have not problem letting run 24/7.
And a quick check on debian packages comes up with httptunnel,
connect-proxy, corkscrew all of which allow tunneling through a http
proxy. I would have to run that on my main PC though, so I could provide
that only about 14 hours/day max.
