In that case, you should be looking for traffic destined for a proxy 
server in your network.

e.g.
ngrep "HTTP/1" dst net yournetwork

or something similar.

Of course, if your network is switched, you will not see the traffic you 
need unless your sniffer is attached to a mirrored port on your switch.

My recommendation is to have the security policy redistributed (if it 
already contains such prohibitions) or updated, and then point out to 
all your users that contravention of the security policy is a firing 
offence.

Your best bet to identify violators is to use (a variation of) the ngrep 
mentioned above, but make sure that you are seeing the necessary traffic 
via the switched port.

Hope this helps.
