Theoretically GFW can do that, because SSH handshake has fingerprints that can be identified. But it will irritate every administrator on this world.

From a reliable source I heard they only ban SSH/VPN service if they can get a free account for testing. So if you are going to use SSH/VPN, make sure the provider do not serve free trials.

You mean that ssh fingerprints are out of the encrypted data packets, aren't they?

Honest to say, I could not afford another premium VPN service.

Roll your own, start a EC2 box when ever you need one and start openVPN or use it as a SSH Tunnel :) Just consider it as a $0.1/hr charge.
