Lol never thought about that. The main problem with the free (and paid) proxies from varous website is mostly that they all go down very often, the uptime is rarely above 70% which is feeble. The other problem is that there is about a 5+ seconds delay before the page actually starts loading which is needed to connect to the proxy server.

I don't think that's possible. If you connect to a proxy, you do a HTTP/... request, and the proxy resolves it, and replies to you with the result. The proxy decides what path it follows to obtain the information, not you. Therefore, you only say what -for example- webpage you want to fetch, and the proxy fetches it.

true... HOWEVER....

wait a minute... why is it that wherever i post... you get here and post just before me ?
am i stalking you, or are you stalking a future echo of myself ?

anyways, back on topic....

there is this delighfull thing called ssh tunneling ! but to bounce the connection off more than one remote machine, you need command line access to it, preferably ssh.... here's how it works....

create an encrypted tunnel from your local mox to a remote machine with the command.....
ssh -L 8080:RemoteHost:RemotePort username@RemoteHost

this creates a tunnel, so whenever you connect to your OWN machine (127.0.0.1) on port 8080, it travels though a tunnel to the remote host on the remote poer....

you could then setup anouther tunnel on the remote machine to a second remote machine, and again and again and again.

the traffic you send could be made to travel down a series of different tunnels, bouncing all over the place before it reaches its final destination.

but you MUST have a valid login account for each machine, and each machine must have (Open)SSH installed, or PuTTY if its a windows box..

Does the windows network module support ssh tunneling, you think?

There's a funky little program called PuTTY that allows you to setup ssh tunnels in windows, thats all i know.

PuTTy is an SSH client for windows, it comes with SFTP, SCP, Telnet clients as well, but I don't think it allows for things like these :/ sadly.

Yeay. Unfortunatelly, since my pc is a mysterious assemblage of unexplicable errors, Linux won't run on it properly, so I'm under Windows Server 2003 Enterprise. Using VMWare to get into Gentoo, though.

Hmmmm, you can use a software like Steganos Internet Anonymous(uses a set of proxies too so it might slow down your connection).

I tried using these proxies, and I was rather unsuccessful. They masked my proxy address but they showed my IP addrress!
I did not have this problem when working with tor. Tor is described in another post on this forum :

tor worked fine, it started an anonymizer program on my own pc, and I could surf anonymously as seen from http://whatismyip.com/
