Correct. Squid IS a proxy. It can be used both as a Internet proxy or as a reverse-proxy/surrogate infront of selected web servers. When used as a proxy it does provide some anonymization features for http:// requests (but not https:// due to the encryption). > So if someone could get in touch with me and walk me through the basics of > configuring it like the-cloak.com I'd appreciate it :) Squid is not the best tool for this job. A easier approach is to write a CGI application or similar web server plugin. The major part of services like the-cloak.com is the HTML rewrites needed, not the "proxying". Regards Henrik
