If that's you're only need to access an unusual port, then bypassing the
proxy would be a good solution.  There's not going to be a real need for
a caching proxy between your browser and one site to check your account.
In fact, going through a caching proxy when you want to see fresh pages
can be a problem, in itself, if the site has bad expiry time settings.

If you *needed* to go through a proxy (e.g. all your traffic had to go
through a proxy, or lots of LAN users were browsing the same resource,
and it was costing you bandwidth), then you would want to fix up your
proxy to work.
