They say they only intercept port 80 so no DNS. Intercepting DNS queries would solve some of the issues but far from all. To come up with a half decent system they would have to intercept ALL traffic. Consider this:

https://258.23.239.2:22/

(IP address intentionally broken so it doesn't go anywhere)

The bottom line is this is a bad way to implement phishing protection.
