        Red Hat is not Linux; if you mean a Red Hat version

        It is much better to block port 80 and tell the users that
        they must use an explicit proxy. That way the clients know
        what they are dealing with and can adapt to the topology.
        Of course, it is possible that these particular services
        are completely incompatible with the use of proxies.
