Here's what I know of.


You could get an anonymous www.c2.org account and websurf
from it.  You can also publish web pages anonymously
from c2.  See
	http://www.c2.org/anon.phtml

It looks like there's an experimental anonymizing proxy
up in France (if you can tolerate the link delay):

I haven't tested it myself, though.

CMU has a web anonymizer at
	http://anonymizer.cs.cmu.edu:8080/
Unfortunately, it's not useable by the public yet.  (They
promise to release it in early 1996.)

Decense is a early prototype of a double-blind penet-style
"re-webserver":

Wei Dai has talked about PipeNet, a network of "re-routers"
for general Internet traffic.  Unfortunately, at this point,
it's only a pipe dream on the whiteboard (as far as I know--
correct me if I'm wrong!).


If I left any out, let me know.

I hope to get a chance to play with these things (and possibly
install one on my machine) during the summer, when I'll have
some more free time.  Whee!
