Has anyone ever dealt with trying to block UltraSurf?

I have difficult problem to solve. I have a customer with no real infrastructure. There is no server, the laptops are brought from home and are mixed OS'es (Windows Home/Pro, OSX, etc).
The needed content filtering so I had her subscribe to OpenDNS. I block any DNS requests that are not heading to the OpenDNS servers.
There is apparently someone using UltraSurf to bypass OpenDNS. UltraSurf, from what I understand, is a proxy that uses outbound port 443.
We also got a subscription to iblocklist.com and I've added known proxies to a blocklist. The list is automatically updated every day.
I'm getting reports that UltraSurf is still working, so I don't know where to go from here.
Any ideas?

What I need is an up to date list of all the UltraSurf proxy sites, which apparently is hard to maintain.

So, you're asking for help to block non-work related surfing? From a message board that you're likely going to end up blocking?

Can't you just email the person using it and tell them they are not allowed to?

Let the damn employees surf the damn web as they please.

I don't know how you could do this without something that does deep packet inspection, so it can go "Hey that is bound for UltraSurf, I am dropping that"

so I had her
Wait another week (when she's not oozing) and tell her to spend the money and get real about her IT solutions.
Just laptops people bring home and back to work? Really?
