My guess is that you're trying to stop users behind your firewall from
accessing sites outside the firewall without using your proxy.

The simplest way I can thing of would be to block the common proxy
ports[0] on the firewall except where they originate from the official
proxy. An alternative would be to additionally use port-forwarding of
those same ports, as well as ports 80 and 443, and have all the traffic
go through the proxy.

The only problem with this is that, at some point, someone will find an
open or public proxy on a different port, and then you get to add that
port to your list.


[0] 3128, 8080, 8088, and if you want to block SOCKS4/5, 1080 as well.
