for your users to access. And since most Proxy sites are known, since
many blocking services update their list daily, there is a very real
chance that even just blocking Proxy sites would prevent them from
accessing your unethical site.


Depends on what service you use. I use one service, with proxy
sites, on which 99.9 percent of them are NOT in any blacklist.
I test this by going to Wikipedia, and seeing if it will let me access
the edit page for any article. I find that Wikipedia lets all but
a handful through. If Wikipedia, as vigilent as they are, cannot
detect most of them, then they are not likely to appear on any
blacklists.

This service is SOOO good, that somoene could be using it
right now, right under your nose, and you would likely
never find out about it. Becuase some port HAS to be
open to anything to get out on the Net,

Yes, but what you need is an accessible _route_ to the Net,
which may very well be non-existent. That's why we have
filtering application level firewalls, and the most desperate
resort to high-overhead http, dns or icmp-tunnelling (which
may or may not be blocked by the firewall).
