Thanks for the link. I will give it a try.

As far as anonymity goes. I'm using a Perl script
created by James Marshall called CGIproxy. This script
acts as a HTTP proxy. The author describes his script:

"You can retrieve any resource that is accessible from
the server it runs on. This is useful when your own
access is limited, but you can reach a server that in
turn can reach others that you can't. In addition, the
user is kept as anonymous as possible from any
servers. Common uses include: anonymous proxies
similar to The Anonymizer, other personal uses,
VPN-like functionality, and others. It's very simple
to install, and very configurable."

You can get CGIproxy at the following link:
