It's tough to find good anonymizing proxies, especially all-purpose socks proxies. However, for your browsing needs, there is a decent list of webproxies at this website as well as some lists of socks but I can't really vouch for those.

I personally have used anonymouse. It has an annoying popup and can be fairly slow and has sketchy cookies support (which can be a drag for messageboard use) but it's reliable enough for the occasional session.

When searching anonymously use a Proxy.

You wouldn't be able to do it on hosted webspace - those things usually only allow you to use the http daemon provided. You'd need to actually rent a server, which is usually quite expensive.

For SSL proxying, you'd need to use something like this - never set one up, but it looks about right. Of course, the server would need to be outside the UK to avoid getting logged. If you don't want to go to the trouble of setting up your own, you could try something like FreeNet*, Tor*, JAP** or just a random anonymous SSL proxy (Proxomitron or MultiProxy might prove useful here). If you're a little less paranoid, you could use a CGI proxy.

* Warning: using these systems may mean that child porn is passing through your system, iirc.
** I know that at one point this system was discovered to have a government backdoor in it, but I think they cleaned up their act.

Email - You could then grab a gmail or yahoo account (giving a ficticious name.)

Instant Messaging and File Sharing - You can use WASTE (RSA secured). More info can be found at: http://waste.sourceforge.net/ Hope that helps.

However, it's clear that China doesn't block HTTPS/SSL or even SSH, so any of the ordinary transport-layer proxies would do, as would simple ssh-based port forwarding.

To access the groups one has to simple use one of the free proxies, that it. Now did the government really achieve what it wanted to. A better solution was to simply ask Yahoo! to remove the group in question.
