I'm curious: isn't using *one* anonymous server enough? I (sort of) understand that it's better to use more than one for non-technical reasons. By that I mean: if you use just one anonymous server, and "someone" requests their logs, you can be fairly easily traced. your real ip addy => anonymous proxy server => site you want to get to. Are there technical reasons for using more than one anonymous server? (i.e. a webmaster can [somehow] easily determine someone's real ip addy if they only use one anonymous server to get to a given site?) I've always done this sort of thing in an admittedly half-buttocked way. I use only one server...located in, say, Burkina Faso or some other non-english speaking/relatively inaccessible/demonstrably uncooperative-type country Best, James Fraser If freedom is a state of mind then this is one big mental block. -- from the Berlin wall -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
