there is a workaround but it will increase your server load and require
quite a bit of setup.

That workaround is to use https. Nearly all proxies are set up to allow http
connect to the standard https port and browsers that use them are set up to
make use of this feature. So if you use https pretty much all of the proxies
code is bypassed and it becomes a dumb tcp forwarder.
