Please keep me informed of your progress. Does anyone out there have a somewhat comprehensive listing of these or other implementations already ported to Linux? I am intending on setting up an alternative site for folks with nosey or suppressive employer accounts or private university accounts who desire an anonymous account somewhere else.
Of course now that Linux has IP aliasing, IP masquerading (partial I think), ipfw, and IP over IP tunneling, it has much of what it needs. I'm just considering development and migration paths.
While they are getting better and better, I am not certain that anything is ready to be deemed as secure as it can be.
I haven't kept up on IPng6 docs, so succinct pointers would be helpful.
In that same spirit, does anyone have pointers to Linux specific security implementations. I would also be interested in ported implementations of remailers, or other annonymity protecting services.
