On Linux, one might be able to set up some form of ACL system so that 
this would be the case. But, on Windows, what if one of these HTTP 
tunneling services writes a version of their software that resides in a 
single executable? Then the user just has to save it to their desktop 
(or My Documents, or somewhere they have write access), run it, and 
voila. Bypassed.
