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.
