The traditional port used for this is 443 (https), which is allowed through
by almost any firewall that allows http (my work firewall allows _only_ http
and https).

There's a port-443 ssh server for fencepost too running on fp-ssh.gnu.org;
presumably there'd need to be some sort of different hostname for savannah
too, as it's using both http and https ports for real http service.
