By trying to circumstant that will probably result in a violation of their TOS. And as Jason suggested, use an ISP that either supports ssh tunneling (which is preferred and more likely to occur) or find a ISP that allows port 3336 to the open world. What you describe is more in the lines of Proxying, which is probably why I was confused. And I wouldn't suggest to anyone to do that kind of proxying, the layers between everything can be *very* unstable.
