TOR would probably be far better, its an entire virtual circuit, not just a proxy, and is actually used by the Chinese whose entire government behaves like your ISP. Sounds like you're signed up to one of these new "Parental Peace of Mind" offerings. My provider's expensive, but very good, low latency and a 1:1 contention ratio (they're more of a commercial than domestic supplier) and so they don't care what you do, as long as it's not actually remotely launching intercontinental missiles or summat.
Again the google thing is probably URL filtering imposed by your ISP, similar to what schools and offices do.
