I am looking for a tool to find the hidden web proxy server in my local
network.

--As for the rest, it is mine.

How about you:
1. Figure out what proxy server(s) they *could* be running.
2. Write a script to find and report those installed on the local machine.
3. Declare a licence audit, and make every user run it on their machine. (Telling them it catalogs what programs are installed.)

Just looking at it from a different perspective...  ;)
