It might also be nice to encrypt the connection from client to proxy. Otherwise, this service only protects you from the server knowing who you are. If you add encryption, then it begins to offer anonymity agianst people watching the proxy. (Assuming there are multiple connections to the proxy.)

Yeah, and ideally the software would allow "chaining" through several anon-proxy-servers, similar to what you can do with the remailers. I think that would give you just about the most security you could expect from such a set-up.
