It seems to be using ssh to tunnel your http connection in the first place. So, if ssh is blocked in your network, this won't work.

That's not how networking works. Incoming connections are usually blocked which is what this is for. It punches a hole through your firewall by using an established ssh tunnel to forward traffic over. You don't need to allow incoming anything to use this service

Yes, but there are organizations that block outgoing ssh connections.
