We've currently got a problem with girls bypassing our web filtering system and connecting directly to our proxy server, a backdoor deliberately left for certain applications. They are only able to do it from the boarding house where some of them have their own laptops. The boarding house is its own physical network, linked via a fibre optic cable to the rest of our network.
Changing anything in the server setup is not really practical as some applications need to talk directly to the proxy server and need to be hard coded to do so. However, I can place something between the boarding house network and the rest of the network. I was thinking an IP Cop firewall which will allow all traffic from the boarding house thru except port 8080. Will this work? Is there a better way of doing it?
