According to my own experience, the proxy software (called web-cache by the ISPs) is able to intercept the connection you try to establish at certains ports. This enable the users who dont know s---about proxies to use the ISP web-cache without knowing it. All you have to do is to try an anonymous proxy at a different port (8080, 3128), in my case I cant use any proxy at port 80.

You must also check "host:" header that certains anonymous proxy dont strip. That's the reason that sometimes http://www.tamos.com/bin/proxy.cgi
wont detect your proxy but http://www.anonymizer.com/3.0/snoop.cgi will see your real address. Proxomitron already contains a filter for that purpose.
