If only 2000/tcp is needed, you can try to tunnel it through SSH and
have the sshd listen on a remote machine on a non-blocked port (e.g.
80/tcp). However, I strongly recommend that you ask your admin. Blocking
port 2000 outbound may be done for a reason. If you try to bypass that
without permission you may be violating your employer's policy.
