I would think that running an anonymous HTTP proxy server is much less likely to bring people screaming to your sysadmin than an anonymous remailer. Thus there is a chance that there could be more people willing to put up the service than even remailers... However, while there may be less chance of forceful shutdown due to complaints, an anon-http proxy server would probably consume much more in the way of network resources than a remailer, which will likely lead to many being shutdown once discovered by the sysadmins (although, maybe not).
On this site, I know that running one would get it killed, me a stern warning, and if I did it again, my account removed. My goal here is *NOT* to piss admins off - and what good are anon-HTTPD's if they're being killed every 10 minutes. What is needed is someone who will offer up their box, that they own or directly control, for this purpose. -jon ( --------[ Jonathan D.
