I use a Freeguard 100 filtering device at the gateway at the school, but it 
cannot filter https traffic, because it is secure traffic.  So I also use 
www.opendns.com<http://www.opendns.com> to block the dns names, which also 
stops https sites.  OpenDNS has category blocking and proxies is one of it's 
categories.  So far, I'm pretty impressed by how many it gets.  I've been 
watching some of the students try now, and it does a really good job.  Plus 
it's free.

Has anyone out there had success clamping down on https proxy usage by 
students? If so what appliance actually does this?
