Anyone wish to comment on the prospect of a double blind server, set outside U.S. borders, that can act as an interface to the rest of the world, perhaps encrypting or stego'ing the data transfered between it and the user? Basically, an anonymous remailer that acts as a cross between an NNTP, POP3, and SMTP servers.
Encrypting data between the server and the user would probably not work very well, due to the lack of cryptographic knowledge among most users (_I_ don't know how to set up PGP for a VAX (even if I had the room to store it in my quota), and I have some interests in this stuff). However, something where someone did a standard http link in, typed in a destination, and got put there in a way that would look like the person was coming in from the server should work. For best bookmarking results, the added link should probably be inside the link that it looked to the user like they were on. For instance, http://www.anonserve.net/http/www.hotsex.com/ should bookmark properly, and be interpretable by the server as being a command to do a http link to that that web location. I am admittedly not that familiar with the root mechanism of the WWW, but I believe this would work. -Allen
