What is a proxy? A garden-variety squid server, in the DMZ of a
corporate firewall? The nasty box in some hotels that "helps" guests
surf the net? A socks proxy installed by the RBN on unsuspecting
desktops?
I *always* use a squid proxy server; if nothing else, it protects me
when I'm using a wireless network. I've never had a problem (though
now that Google thinks that Randy's machines are in Japan, I'm
expecting some trouble...)
