Very interesting. But would not there a socks be configured in the remote german server ? I don't know how to configure socks. But I have already configured squid as an anonymous proxy with user authentication based on ncsa_auth . If I check the IP now it it showing the german IP of the server. The only disadvantage is squid is really a heavy service to use as an anonymous proxy only.
