I would use a high port, even a port already used by a well known service
such as 6667. Nothing can keep them from dissassembling the packets and
finding out what is really being transferred but I believe in the laziness
of the common man and don't believe they will try this. When you give out
the URLs they will just have to include the port number.

I would then just use any of the freely avail websites if that is all you
want to do.

There are a few things that you can do depending on what the linksys can
do.
1) Translate the traffic from one interface to another using high ports
2) Port forwarding, but I wouldn't recommend this if you are trying to
get around the cops.

There is no coaxing about it. It's one line in a conf file.
