Your proxy doesn't allow it? Well, if this is a work-related proxy, ask permission to use BOINC. If this is a proxy for own use (why?), you'll have to find another solution as no project will change its executables to something that can circumvent any proxy that easily.

It's the projects that supply the executables that BOINC downloads, so you'd have to ask the projects, not BOINC. Yet all projects and BOINC have that first rule of requiring permission to run BOINC on the computer, where work and school will forbid it.
