[clue-tech] Re: proxy server

You can skip Squid altogether and use SSH's dyanmic forwarding. Putty 
supports it too.

ssh -D1080 remotehost.com

Then set your browser's proxy settings to: localhost:1080

I use this since I've gotten in trouble on a couple occasions from my ISP. 
It is a lot harder than it looks to properly secure a proxy server. This 
way is quick and easy.
