We also block proxy and VPN (avoidance techniques) sites.

Besides, if a user is determined to surf these sites, they’ll do it on their own devices, with their own bandwidth.

Many of our students use free or paid VPN services to protect their interests (or should I say privacy?). So even if we 
as an institution decide to block porn sites (which we don't) they'd just VPN out and get to wherever they want to go 
using our bandwidth as the gateway, bypassing any blocks we would dare put in place. :)

An interesting thread and thanks to all who posted.
