One thing to keep in mind - if you bypass your company's proxy server to gain access to unauthorized websites, you may be violating your company's network/security/Internet access policy, which in some companies is grounds for termination.

Is it worth it to lose your job because you just had to check your Yahoo! mail? No.

If you can't last 8 hours at work without surfing the Net, you have a problem.

They installed WebSense for a reason - to keep people from wasting time at working surfing the Net and being non-productive. Stop spending so much time trying to bypass their filters and get back to work.
If you spend more on coffee than on IT security, you will be hacked.
What's more, you deserve to be hacked.

i used to use a program in 2003 whereby you bounced yur connection off many anonomous proxies so if say, a particular forum or something bklocked your ip, you would just use a different proxy

do such things still exist?

The only way I know of being an anonymous for max maybe 30 min is to use a WiFi hotspot, have no listening open ports, keep changing your MAC address and constantly flush your cache, cookies and anything that is read to your HD during the session. Spoof your OS ID. The truth is, nobody has anonymity, welcome to the goldfish bowel.

Yes, that's the whole point of proxy servers. Use "Web proxy" or normal "Http proxy" for that.

im using a proxy server on a website and when i click on a button to pull up a drop down box, nothing happens. why is this?

Probably, you haven't enabled Javascript. Web proxy servers usually disable Javascripts by default. Before you visit the page that you have problems with, tick "enable Javascript" in proxy server.
