Just found an interesting article http://blog.mozmonkey.com/2008/vpc-ie6-ie7-ie8-on-mac-os-x/ not tried it out yet but will be giving it a go a bit later in the week :)

I've been happily using Privoxy + Tor + i2p together for quite some time now to browse the web, Google and other sites of interest.

I also have 2 transparent Squid proxies in front of my LAN here (on my side) running with squid-prefetch, and they too use the same privoxy and tor and i2p setups for prefetching. This way, duplicate requests from anyone inside my network don't HAVE TO go to the live site, if it already exists in the Squid cache. Since its transparent (done at the router with iptables), the users don't have to configure anything at all on their end.

And I much prefer SwitchProxy over FoxyProxy any day.

where is the extension manager in mozilla 1.7.5?

Tunnelier is about the best tunneling program out there:

By fat the easiest solution is the SiwtchProxy Tool, a Firefox Extension that is easy to install and manage.

SiwtchProxy Tool offers a simple status-bar interface where the user can change proxies on the fly. It comes with a pre-set anonymous setting which will change the proxy periodically (user-supplied value). For the list of proxies used, you can supply a simple text file or use a web-based dynamicaly updated list.

For SwitchProxy Tool homepage, see http://extensionroom.mozdev.org/more-info/switchpr oxy or https://addons.mozilla.org/extensions/moreinfo.php ?application=firefox&id=125
(I have not observed any of the problems mentioned by the users - with the obvious exception that sites that know you by IP address won't recognize you if you use the anonymising proxy, but that can hardly be construed as a bug.)

You can find several suitable anonymising proxy lists in this forum:

It's really quite fast, elegant and easy.
