Your traffic is being passed through a content filter. SurfControl allows
admins to report on internet usage, maintain logs of all users' activity,
and also apply certain restrictions (such as the one that you have
encountered). Just ask your admin, and he/she would surely make
arrangements. It's not hard on their end...

So for those small sites or sites only allowing ssh in for specific persons such as a few admin and perhaps a few application maintainers, and even a vendor or two, we find it easier to maintain the standard port and restrict access in the firewall and tcpd to specific addresses, and on occasion users via sshd_config settings as well. ... Log cruft is a pretty lame reason and rational for making a choice to implement a non-standard port setting, admins should have the skills to filter and parse logs in a manner such that the cruft does not interfere with their daily log monitoring chores, else they have likely a lot of other cruft that must as well be driving them to near madness as well not relating to sshd and the kiddie brute-forcing tool of the week. ...
