I think that encrypted Layer3 solution, something like openvpn with ssl and a NAT ( and/or Squid ) should suit your needs and is pretty simple. The appropriate VPS plans I know for this use to cost about $2/month. I'm not sure but there are cloud providers who supply even hourly-rated virtual machines ( $0.0X/hour ). And, it's nothing supernatural to ask whoever to set up such a thing for one-time fee. 73! Peter pgp: A0E26627 (4A42 6841 2871 5EA7 52AB 12F8 0CE1 4AAC A0E2 6627) -- http://vereshagin.org
