What does anyone use and or reccommend for an anonymous proxy server? I have come on anonymizer.com and also anonymouse.com.
Are these decent? Are there any others to think about? Any that are better?
I've not used any but the first thing that comes to mind is "use Tor". I don't know how helpful that answer is though! :-)
I have - and I strongly second this suggestion to use tor. Any other "anonymous" proxy may not be. See for example this posting by Hal Roberts http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/hroberts/2009/01/09/popular-chinese-filtering-c...
At best knowledge of your browsing activity may be limited to the owner of the anon proxy. At worst, they may sell that knowledge. If you value your privacy, use tor - and read the wiki carefully to ensure that you understand tor's limitations and look out for any gotchas - like DNS leakage for example.

The text file for RFC 854 contains exactly 854 lines. Do you think there is any cosmic significance in this?
