Assuming the IPv4 TTL issue can be worked around (see elsewhere in thread), a phone that does GBs/month of encrypted traffic over SSH would still be a signal that something suspicious is going on.

That's where using a VPN comes in. For all they know, you could be connecting to your own, internal business websites.

[edit: changed my response.]

Also, you can connect to a VPN via: Settings > Wireless & Network settings > VPN Settings on Android

"I'm an Apple developer developing XYZ application that uses encrypted traffic."

Problem solved.

They don't have to know it's just the SOCKS proxy and you're tunneling with SSH to your server as another proxy.
