Any of the firewalls, filters and network security devices can detect a proxy as soon as you connect to it. It’s actually trivial to do. All they have to do to determine if it is a proxy or a web site is to try and connect to it. If the filter gets a response the security software knows it’s a proxy and you’re toast. The only question is whether the system is set to auto block or if it emails or texts the admin and lets him do it manually, which can buy a few hours.

The other problem is that you are breaking numerous laws by trying to hack a government (most schools are government run) security system. At work, you are probably also breaking laws about hacking as well as violating your employment agreement.

Even if you do get a proxy to work for a bit what do you get? A lot of these are hacker pots designed to either steal your information or plant bots on your computer that they can use. The recent facebook and Twitter DDOS attacks the took down their entire networks is a classic example of what people using proxies and getting infected enables.

Even if it’s not a hacker pot it’s probably loaded with advertisements as that’s how the owner is making money. In either case the owner has no incentive to provide fast response or high bandwidth. The owner of the proxy is using you and delivering very little back to you.

At the end of the day you’re just wasting a lot of time that could be spent doing something more productive at best and risking your computer and more at the worst.

The proxy you used may be dead. You should try a new proxy.
