This scares me

Ok, at my school they dont have bess, they have i think web sence enterprise or something ... anyway iv been using portable firefox for a while (just becuse i like it) even though the IT guy left IEs proxy settings open :P

anyway most of my proxys just stopped working and it was getting to be a pain to find new ones everyday, and since i dident really need them becuse I useially actuially work on my web sites in web design (the class hasent tought me a thing its just an hour i get to work on my forum / site / wiki) for a while i just stopped using proxys altogether.

Well reasently i went to check me gmail account at school and what do ya know its blocked! So i type in

http[b]s[/b]://gmail.com

and bam it comes up, so i sit back and lauth at my ausome smarness and the IT guys dumbness...

The next day

http[b]s[/b]://gmail.com

is blocked so i sigh and google ""anonymous proxy list"" and start going down the list, and what do ya know one isent blocked! http://www.steganos.com/?area=updateproxylist

so i enter in some of the proxys and like the third one works, so again i si back in my chair and lauth at the infearior IT guy, i type in http://gmail.con (while using the proxy) and BOOM the blocker page appears, and i freese.

HOW? how did it know? I thought once you where in a proxy everything you did was masked by the proxy?!?! WTF is going on?

so i closed and continued on without checking my mail, but all my efforts from then on have failed at bypasing the filter. And im not asking how can i be cool and bypass the filter, i just want to know how did it know what site i was going to through the proxy?

So I came here, becuse im sure someone can answer my question,

thanx,
