Programming is like golf; you don't have to be good at it to enjoy it. Like golf, those who don't have the passion for the game tend to lose interest, become more irritated as they try to regain their previous stature, and don't generally treat it as the lifelong hobby it is. Programming is an art - if you need to find your passion, as opposed to your subject, you may have never truly had it in the first place.
Its a public service.. I imagine they have a very strict time limit, something like 15 or 20 hours a month.. If this were somehting the people payed for, or something that they could use 24 hours a day, then I'd agree.. But its free, so you can't complain too much, if they don't like it they should go out an make their own free ISP, or *gasp* pay for internet access.
And if they really wanted to ssh to the box? first ssh to the masq box, then ssh to your machine, which I assume would ge assigned an IP like 192.186.xx.xx, like on a regular VPN.
