I agree too but until there's a better way, we'll still use the keyword searching to find the blatant sites. In our case, we're blocking egress traffic for everything except known services(our own proxies) so anonymous proxies and vpn's won't be able to connect....UNLESS they can get to them through the proxies somehow. Things like PHProxy and all the anonymizing sites make it tougher. There's ways around anything I know but we adapt and keep plugging away.
