I don't think, reading his original message, that he was actually
confused on this point.

That will only be useful if he knows the details of the proxy server and
can connect to it with anything other than the browser.  If I were the
network admin there and wanted to prevent that, I might have the browser
installed on one machine and have users run it remotely, with only the
machine that the browser is installed on allowed to connect to the
proxy.  A little thought would doubtless give more clever ways to block
this.
