We indeed have this issue; we cannot use ssh through our firewall. 

It is possible for us to get an additional direct access to the 
internet, but then we will always have to use two different network 
connections, one for the daily work and one for pushing changes to 
gerrit. This is not very convenient.

+1 I would appreciate this.
