Okay... well, I thought it was just common knowledge, but the various proxy servers out there, with various degrees of "transparency" and "anonymity" and this and that, AFAIK just receive HTTP requests on whatever port it is this week and forward them on the "standard" port. I supposed someone might have conjured up some method of using them for anonymous email, but I don't see why they'd bother. In any case, I'm just (once again...) looking for the functionality of a couple of the Windoze utilities I've been using, in a Linux version. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Squid is designed for setting up a *local* proxy, with various forms of filtering, isn't it? I looked through the docs and it didn't look to me like that was what I was looking for, but maybe I missed it. (naaah... Who, ME?? overlook something right under my nose? I wouldn't do *that*...) I had no idea these things were the subject of such knee-jerk suspicion and paranoia. There are all sorts of commercial products out there for net anonymity; what's the big deal? (other than that I'm getting the impression there's nothing *available* for Linux...) Maybe I'm asking in the wrong place or on the wrong list... I just thought, as with some other functionalities, there might be some Debian-specific package Or Something that would fill the bill... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
