Re: fighting proxy/anonymizing sites

At Saint Mary's, we use websense to monitor the web, but spend no time focu=
sed on proxy sites. We are an honor code school and using a proxy site is =
simply lying electronically. At orientation, we tell our students that usi=
ng any site that attempts to hide your web surfing destination is an honor =
code violation. Other inappropriate Internet use has a lesser penalty, so =
it is not worth it to the students to try to use the proxies. We also don'=
t block social networks or entertainment sites, so the girls don't have to =
use the proxy sites to get around filters.

I was ask at NECC how many hours a week I spend fighting proxy/anomyizing
sites. For me, I spend about 8-10 hours a week. I am interested in how
much time other administrators spend.
