    What I did that seems to be working is put the word PROXY in the url filter and block the word.

    I do hope you don' t have any investors in your organization. They are probably cursing you. Banned words are a sledgehammer and should be used sparingly. We have one word, porn, and many news sites that have been exempted solely for that word. Good luck.
