openvpn in spite of firewalls

[PETER EASTHOPE <peasthope@shaw.ca>]

Folk,

I've installed openvpn on two systems and tried some 
configurations including Example 2 from the man page.
Seems that firewalls block successfully (sarcasm).  
Nevertheless, http, ssh, ftp and a few other protocols 
work.

Is there any chance of using one of the open ports for 
the tunnel between the two machines?  For example,
can the tunnel between 10.4.0.1 and 10.4.0.2 use port 
22 while ssh uses it for other connections?  

Can a proxy server solve this?  

Is there any other way to connect the tunnel in spite 
of the firewalls?

Thanks,          ... Peter E.
