If you know what you are doing, a SSH tunnel is very difficult to block. Thing is, to a network admin who knows what they are doing (a rarity...), SSH traffic is easy to spot.

The last place I worked blocked Facebook and then fired someone for using a SSH tunnel to route his web access to an external machine. The mere circumvention was enough to fire him. Didn't help that no one actually liked the guy.
