to be more concret there exist 2 firewalls:
  one at the location I'm working, one at home

the office firewall protects more than 2000 user(!), due to this reason
only port 80 is open. 
As you can see there is no other way than going through http on port 80,
even if I would open a port on my own firewall (at home)
