A proxy server for HTTP transport so that one could access the web
anonymously. I don't think coding is the problem here; one could be
easily hacked out in perl, or you could use CERN HTTPD as a proxy
server. I think the problem is finding someone who will offer up their
machine as a place to run this service.

It might also be nice to encrypt the connection from client to
proxy. Otherwise, this service only protects you from the server
knowing who you are. If you add encryption, then it begins to offer
anonymity agianst people watching the proxy. (Assuming there are
multiple connections to the proxy.)

The barriers to me setting it up are: A) Digital postage B) Bandwidth on c2.org (only 14.4 right now) -- sameer Voice: 510-841-2014 Network Administrator Pager: 510-321-1014 Community ConneXion: The NEXUS-Berkeley Dialin: 510-549-1383 http://www.c2.org (or login as "guest") sameer@c2.org

In that case, you could make a local daemon software "wedge" that you'd connect to that would open an encrypted connection to the proxy. Should be rather easy. Like I said before, implementation doesn't seem incredibly hard, but I've not seen a deluge of people offering up their boxes for this use. -jon ( --------[ Jonathan D.
