because that's exactly what should happen. you can't ping through a proxy, web proxies are only for http / ftp. if you want direct access you would need to enable firewall access out of the network, or it may even be the case that if the proxy is there only for proxying, there's no way to actually route through it at all, let alone preventing it.

What about https tunnels? Are there such client and server software for linux?

If so, he might succeed by installing that at both ends.

Edit:
I never tried myself, but this could help:

oh well certainly, or you can use a socks proxy or all sorts, but this guy is assumign that squid let's you ssh, which it doesn't.
