Depends how complex a solution you can cope with to achieve this. I use 2x Remote Application Server using their HTML5 server/client. From a modern browser (I use Chrome) - I can access a suite of published applications or simply launch into a full desktop - all over port 443.
This does have quite a few dependencies though, and mine is run in a "lab" setup that I've used to teach myself AD/RDS etc. so has a domain controller, and various RDS hosts in the setup to serve up the remote desktop configuration.
Works great for me

Took all of ten minutes to set up with no PM or BA required.

Not giving a **** is being stupid.

... I think the ports are blocked. The safari browser plugin for it worked for a bit before it got blocked too ...
I have a feeling that the security software blocks all known proxies and remote desktop providers ....
FFS Do you know what you have made me do????
Agree with NLUK!!

just out of curiosity is it not possible to route the traffic via a personal domain using a https connection?.

I use LogMeIn and it works nicely with Chrome. Although I'm not a regular user.

Free rather than the paid options from LogMeIn and GoToMyPC, but not as quick being browser based.
