Assuming you understand what is allowed by your network acceptable use
policies, and assuming it is possible to run Linux (say via a LiveCD)
and assuming you control a machine out on the Internet, I find 
'apt-get install connect-proxy' works very well for most web proxies.

You do things like:

  ssh -o 'ProxyCommand=connect-proxy -H corporatefirewall:80 %h 443' \
     myinternethost.example.org

where myinternethost is running an sshd on port 443. 

Or modify to taste to serve up irc.
