Ok I think I need to clarify a little... The students have found that using sites like https://proximize.me they can go to sites that are normally banned either by URL or APP. Sadly the BrightCloud URL filter is less than perfect so the students do find proxy sites dagibbs stated that if I look at the logs I will Protocol as SSL this is not correct. I have been to this proximize site and browsed around the internet, OK all be it slowly..but it still bypass all application and url filtering not good. All I see is the protocol TCP (if I am not mistaken the protocol is either TCP or UDP) and application ssl. So essentially the PA see's their traffic as SSL nothing more than that. See the PA.jpg below, this is me browsing through the proxy, as you can see web-browsing and SSL are the only ones present, I think the web-browsing is my other browser window open which is normal internet. So even if I selected 'encrypted-tunnel' it wouldn't make any difference what so ever as the PA is only seeing SSL traffic, its not seeing anything else. Presently the only way to stop this type of browsing is to block SSL which of course has other implications... Thoughts?
