You have a point, that is something I could do probably, but so far all ssl proxy I have seen, are actually websites with a form. I need to use the proxy from the command line and pipe a ssh connection through it. > > If you actually want anonymity, then use Tor as is, for it's designed to > > provide anonymity online by default. That is why am glad my script has tor support now. Anonymity is there. It's just really slow. :-) I added tortunnel support as well, which is probably slower than those websites but serves the purpose. I am pretty happy with the result. I'll be posting a link as soon as I have it online, if someone needs it. It's just a nice script for a vpn on top of ssh, even if you don't need tor. > > Yes, but back to my thread hijack :) > > Let's say my protection model does indeed require Tor, but at the same > time requires "more" speed. > > Forcing Tor to only use fast nodes probably doesn't work, since those fast > nodes are probably inundated just like the slow ones are.
