I suppose the question is, are you looking for ways to remain anonymous, or are you looking to bypass a content filter? For bypassing a content filter, running your own is a great option. If you are trying to remain anonymous, that won't help you, because they will trace it back to your web server anyway.
thanks Westin.

I've had a look at Tor and i've got some more questions;

How is Tor more safe than other proxies?
When you mention SSL Strip on exit nodes, do you mean the end client could be in effect, waiting to attack your PC?

Personally i'm just researching security at the moment. I've had a quick look around and i think Tor looks like it'd be excellent as a way of bypassing web/content filters etc but you mention it's not good for security? Can you elaborate on this?
