I used to use a tool that does exactly this nearly 20 years ago to poke a hole through corporate firewalls, corkscrew[0].

Nice standalone implementation and write up though.

AIUI corkscrew works for a specific use case:

1. you're behind an HTTP proxy, and

2. the HTTP proxy support the CONNECT method

Around 20 years ago I did a short contract which had #1 but not #2. Thankfully, there's a tool for this, too. Of course it requires some set up on the server side:
