Note to self…look at this: MetroPipe - Providers of The Tunneler: Encrypted anonymous browsing via offshore proxies.
UPDATE: I installed this on my laptop last night and I’m pretty impressed. Firefox ran a little slow but that’s to be expected with emulation. I just wish you didn’t have to pay for the tunneler service. I do however like the fact that these guys come right out and say that the other “anonymity” companies work closely with the US Govt and therefore don’t _really_ provide any anonymity at all. Oh, and they don’t keep logs which is excellent….all in all, a pretty handy tool!
