You have what they call a 'transparent proxy'. When https is in use by 
git, you can probably add those rogue man-in-the-middle certificates to 
/etc/ssl/certs, but for native git protocol this isn't going to work, as 
your firewall simply blocks those connections out (the 'no route to 
host' thing).  [1]

You need to explain to your management that to do your job properly, you 
need a real internet connection, or a SOCKS proxy (for the git 
protocol). But then they wouldn't be able to spy on you.
