I dont think so. Reverse proxy ideally sits before you web servers to 'offload' some load from the web servers from the clients. I think the only way to beat content filtering is tunneling http traffic over ssl (so just add (s) to http, its that easy for servers running http over ssl). Most content filters I have met, apart from a few, cannot stop that. Try that from IPCOP and let us now. You could also try proxys sites -http://proxy.org/- (not sure if that is what you meant by reverse proxy), though most UTMs will have categories for blocking proxy sites.
