Tunnel ssh to the remote server and run a squid proxy there.
I did a prelimenary design for a system that was secure against
governmental intrusion almost a decade ago. The core of the
system was multiple servers in multiple legal domains (different
nation states). No single server ever was to have enough information
to allow messages to be obtained by grabbing that server.
In addition we proposed to use "blind" microwave links across
international borders. Signals just go in. Who knows where they
come out.
Good clean fun. I would love to see someone build such a system.
Every government in the world is a potential source of facism and
should not be given our ultimate trust.
