"Don't get me wrong. I'm not a technophobe. I just think people need to practice safe surfing," Cottrell says. "In some ways the Anonymizer is the virtual condom."
What will Cottrell do if someone uses his anonymizer(R)[TM] to connect to someone's web server many times in a row, requesting the same pages, and the admins of said server whine about "denial of service" attacks?
Make sure you turn off your local cache, Dr. Anonymizer could also cache frequently requested pages. Also, there are a lot better ways to launch an anonymous DoS than to load pages off a server via an anonymous proxy.
