a friend of mine had asked me to look into this. she is frustrated by
the fact that her employer blocks 90% of the websites that she wants to
access during the day from work. is there an open source web proxy out
there that anyone knows about that i can setup on my linux server that
will help her out? the problem with using commercial solutions such as
anonymizer.com is that her company blocks all of those URLs so the only
way for us to get this to work is if i set up an anonymizing proxy on
my linux server and she can then surf the web via my proxy.

thanks for any input.

The employer will block that too and most have a web browsing policy. So if
she tries to get around it she might find herself being sacked.
She will find that the sites are filtered by content etc, so even if she
connects to your server it will still be blocked and flag up a message for
her to be investigated.
