Still works fine for me (although I never normally access it that way).
Still OK for me, and I use it to access loads of Usenet groups [*]. Occasionally when I try to post it makes me log in again, but that's all.

[*] OK, I know that makes me a sad case, and I should spend 5 minutes setting up whatever interface everyone says is better and doesn't class me as a spammer, but if I had 5 minutes to write a sig it would say: "Eternity does not have enough 5-minute slots for all the 5- minute jobs you say I should do."
Hmmmn, works ok in konq - must be my iceweasel (firefox) setup.
I don't use gg to access uk.d-i-y, just used that as an example, was actually googling for something that happened to lead to a groups link.
Heh, tell me about it! :-)
For me, using usenet lots, it's 5-minutes[*] well-spent in making it vastly easier to access the groups
[*] FSVO 'minute'
For me, it'd take a lot more than 5 minutes to get me access to Usenet from work[1] via any other way than GG. Indeed it simply couldn't happen. :-)

[1] During my lunch/break of course when personal access is allowed...
Ah, you hadn't mentioned the 4-letter word :-/

Can you ssh out?
I connect from many sites via their web proxy server to my openVPN server running on port TCP/443 - just looks like https traffic, albeit rather long lived connections, copes with proxy authentication where needed.

Then ssh -L is your friend :)
Unfortunately not. HTTP(S) is all I can use.
(I also cannot install any software on my client anyway)

I have seen a trick of having a java ssh client applet on a webserver you own and potentially you could run your ssh server on 443 too.
Might break your company policies though
