Computer literate K-12 students regularly use anonymizing proxies to bypass their school's web filters to access pornography, social networking, and other blocked websites. This is a major security flaw because most infected networks are first exposed via the web. Moreover, it has serious legal ramifications for schools that are not in compliance with state and federal laws. However, reputation and real-time detection can automatically identify and block anonymizing proxies. This white paper discusses the risks of students bypassing web filters and the technologies that schools can use to combat them.
