I'm in college and all ports are blocked. After much wrestling with faculty and admin I've got permission for outgoing SSH to *only 1 server*. All I want the proxy for is so that I can connect to IRC and tunnel applications like git and svn:// and access/commit code. So I'm not looking for any great service, or high system specs at all. I'm looking for the *cheapest* thing I can find and it should be easy to pay. I'll try the friend credit card idea though.
