The best option is probably to revert that firewall policy. Second, you might run your SSH server on port 443 and see whether the firewall lets that pass. Third, you could try Tor, which is an anonymity network with censorship resistance, see: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#FirewallPorts Tor provides a socks proxy, which you would need to configure for use from Emacs/Gnus.
