Firewall/packetfilter (running on proxy server) is blocking all traffic
except proxy. Am i right when saying to make spoofing IP/MAC of the
proxy work there must be a another seperate firewall before WAN i can
work directly with spoofed IP/MAC?
If not, why should i spoof IP/MAC?

This depends on skills of network admin. An admin who doesn't care about
packet sniffing and other deeper techniques but does only look at his
protocols -which structure and content is known- doesn't care about
more or less hidden ssh traffic reported in proxy's logs as 'connection
to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (HTTPS) 5 calls/10 MB'.
