How to block proxy and anonymizer sites

OpenDNS offers you the ability to block proxy and anonymizer sites as a category within Adult Site Blocking .

Proxy and anonymizer sites are those which provide proxy bypass information or services or allow the user to surf the net anonymously, including sites that allow the user to send anonymous emails. These sites are often used to get around content filtering.

Go to the OpenDNS Dashboard, make sure you have a Network (or more than one), and then go to the Settings tab, and click Category Blocking. Check the box for this category, wait five minutes, and you're done.
