Re: [proxyTools-users] Privacy in proxytools - url obfuscation?

[Michael F. <mi...@pc...>]

I've written a CGI proxy in python called approx.
http://www.voidspace.org.uk/atlantibots/pythonutils.html

It needs to be installed on an external server with Python 2.2 +. This 
will be almost all Linux servers.

It doesn't *yet* do URL obfuscation - but that would be *trivial* to add.
When used just as a CGI it only modifies webpages - it doesn't work with 
Javascript. However - when used with a clientside proxy as well (browser 
connects to localhost - clientside proxy connects to approx).

The clientside proxy is still 'alpha' - I've had it working (and used it 
regularly) via our company proxy - but it didn't work with a direct 
connection. Help in testing would be appreciated. Because it proxies all 
connections from the browser - things like javascript work fine.

Note for Wayne - if you wanted to build in support for approx into 
localproxy, it would be *very* easy. The url's just need rewriting for 
the approx location. It's an http/ftp only proxy of course.

Fuzzy
