I once toyed with squid (transparent) chained with privoxy, and it worked quite well. But I removed them, as I use Windows as my workstation and there is Proxomitron which is better for my tastes. But, if using Linux, the squid/privoxy might be in use. Privoxy (I think) can not play as a transparent proxy, but Squid can, and it can be chained with Privoxy. -- http://www.iki.fi/jarif/ Today's weirdness is tomorrow's reason why. -- Hunter S. Thompson
