No suggestions. I cannot think of any 100 percent reliable way to check this. Proxies, from the client perspective, look the same as clients. As you suggest, high port numbers are not an indication of a proxy server. Clients use high port numbers as well.

You might be able to guess proxies from large companies that direct the vast majority of traffic thru proxy servers by a study of the IP addresses of the connections. This would be a good guess for large organizations. You can also tell clients that are more-than-likely not proxied because of the hostname, i.e. the DHCP names of clients with Roadrunner, @Home, etc. This would be intelligent guessing (at best) and incomplete.

NAME
Origami - command-line management tool for Folding @ Home clients. SYNOPSIS
origami {install | archive | restore | erase | name | status | monitor | proxy | start | stop | version | help} [<options>...] origami {deploy | network-archive | network-restore | network-name | network-monitor | network-name | network-start | network-stop} [<options>...] origami help origami version DESCRIPTION
Origami allows you to install, monitor, archive or restore Folding @ Home data on your local machine. It also allows for central deployment, monitoring, archiving, restoration and updating the username and team data via the network to ssh-accessible machines. Origami supports cron-based scheduling, 32bit or 64bit and network proxy settings. Install Stanfords Folding @ Home client to a single machine or network of machines. COMMAND-LINE ACTIONS The first argument which does not begin with a hyphen ("-") is considered to be an action that the program should perform. If an action is not specified Origami will display the help output. The following actions are available to the local machine: install Install Folding @ Home to the local machine. This action will create a dedicated user, storage location for Folding @ Home data, startup script and request a work unit. deploy Install Folding @ Home to remote machines as listed in the ~/.origamirc file. This action will create a dedicated user, storage location for Folding @ Home data, startup script and request a work unit on the remote machine. SSH access as the root user is required for the deploy action. archive Archive Folding @ Home data for the local Folding @ Home client. This action will stop the Folding @ Home client, archive the current progress into a <hostname>-<date>.tar.bz2 format and store the data in ~/.origami/. network-archive Archive Folding @ Home data on the remote Folding @ Home client as listed in the ~/.origamirc. This action will stop the Folding @ Home client, archive the current progress into a <hostname>-<date>.tar.bz2 format and store the data in ~/.origami/. restore Restore Folding @ Home data on the local machine. This action will require previously archived data (as generated by the archive action). network-restore Restore Folding @ Home data on the remote Folding @ Home clients as listed in the ~/.origamirc. This action will require previously archived data (as generated by the network-archive action). erase Erase current Folding @ Home installation. Anything generated by the install function will be removed and all Folding @ Home progress will be lost. name Update the username and team information for the local Folding @ Home client. It is generally preferred to define username and team at installation with the install action. network-name Update the username and team information for the remote Folding @ Home clients. It is generally preferred to define username and team at installation with the deploy action. status|monitor Display the current progress of the local Folding @ Home client. network-status|network-monitor Disploy the current progress of the remote Folding @ Home clients as listed in the ~/.origamirc. proxy Update the proxy settings for the local Folding @ Home client. This action requires a port and hostname. It is generally preferred to define the proxy port and hostname at installation with the install action. start Start the local Folding @ Home client. (This calls /etc/init.d/origami start) network-start Start the remote Folding @ Home clients as listed in the ~/.origamirc. stop Stop the local Folding @ Home client. (This calls /etc/init.d/origami stop) network-stop Stop the remote Folding @ Home clients as listed in the ~/.origamirc. version Display the Origami version. help Display the Origami help output.
