UK wizard is 100% correct, I cant even add anything else to his statement.
Well, the only thing I would say different is really a technicality. Proxies typically do not "block" this type of traffic. When I think of something blocking, traffic is arriving and the device does not let it pass. However, in a typical proxied environment, without a socks client or something else, the traffic will not know how to get out to the Internet, since there is no default way out of the local network. Therefore the proxy is not directly to blame, although a typical proxy environment is... if that makes any sense.
