858344 2010-02-14 18:41:00 What exactly is the result you're after? If we can clarify this, we may have some better suggestions how to help ;) inphinity (7274)
858345 2010-02-14 19:13:00 I'm with inphinity, I'd try explaining what you're hoping to achieve overall, add just a little bit of extra information. There's a good chance people might be able to offer an alternative, or a better way to achieve your final goal, rather than just solve your immediate roadblock. Chilling_Silence (9)

this is an ongoing problem for my network admins.
I have been in such a role for about 10 years, so my advise is from experience.

you can find such a list but it will be incomplete.
proxy servers come and go every day.
the users only have to find one that you missed and you fail.

depending on the environment, you should have policy about what people can and cant do on the internet.
part of that policy should be "users on the network are not to bypass any security, this includes turning off anti-virus program or bypassing the proxy rules"

once you have policy then monitor the logs, when you fine someone using a proxy you have take action.

a public hanging is good to keeping people in line :-)

858347 2010-02-14 22:32:00 If you want to block sites, if the router (If you have 1), supports blocking urls / domains add them to that, then noone will get to the site. Including you Speedy Gonzales (78)

A social solution is much more effective than the technological one.

858349 2010-02-15 00:27:00 A semi-decent solution is to force users through your own proxy to get out to the internet, it's not as easy to cascade proxy servers ;) Chilling_Silence (9)
