[olug] anonymizer

[Chris Garrity]

    Squid, SSH, and optionally a "named" cache for DNS lookups. At work, 
set your browser to proxy localhost port 3128. Open an SSH connection to 
your sshd/squid computer, and forward the localhost port 3128 to the 
remote host. Then install Ghostvilla.

    This configuration not only hides the URL requests from the 
"Administration," it encrypts your HTTP traffic and prevents the 
"Administration" from ever knowing the content of siad HTTP traffic if 
they were to actively capture your traffic.. BTW, if the 
"Administration" doesn't monitor SSH behavior, and the company has 
"sensitive" data; the "Administration" needs to either start monitoring 
SSH behavior or the "Administration" needs to be replaced with a more 
clueful "Administration."

Safeweb comes to mind.  I have foudn that these kinds of sites don't last long before they are noticed and shutdown.  Now I am thinking to myself I have a nice little apache server running on the net and was wondering if anyone knew of an opensource project to turn an apache install into an anonymouse browser with login capability ( To keep it from being noticed by employeer)?  Seems to me an unbranded https page on my home machine that allowed me access to my own internet connection has little possiblity of being noticed and very little possibility of them determining its purpose.  Anyway just wondering if anyone had done somethign like this before?
