Feel free to use it. No guarantees about performance, though ;) > /me makes another note to buy Alexander a beer next time I go to Europe > > :-) *g* Thanks. One important thing to note, though. It's important to remember that the proxy operator could easily sniff all the traffic that's going through the proxy. The proxy needs to be able to read the traffic. Now, I swear that *I* am not going to log any traffic going through my system. But you've gotta decide if you trust me... On a larger note, exactly this question was the reason for the recent "tor problem", cf. <http://www.derangedsecurity.com/time-to-reveal%e2%80%a6/> or <http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/09/11/1730258>.
