If it is in use, you could likely find it by sniffing the network. Sniffing can be accomplished with tcpdump on a gateway/router/firewall/bridge, or dsniff/ettercap from a node on a switched network.

You could also use a network scanner like nmap to scan for open ports that you know should not be open, you could start by looking at the common proxy ports.

8080
1080
3128

and 31337 for good measure.
