Alright, I spend three periods a day in a class with computers. Unfortunately, the school's connection goes through a proxy that blocks damn near everything (EoFF was even blocked before the server switch) and I'm getting really tired of it.
Here's what I'm wondering: Would it be possible to set up my own proxy, with a web frontend to access sites? Like set up an Apache server in conjunction with the proxy software, and have a page with an input field that takes whatever address I want and then forwards it to me? So rather than it going Me -> School's proxy -> Website, it'd be Me -> School's Proxy -> My proxy -> Website. I remember there being a Japanese site that worked on this same principle until the school's block stopped access to it. Is there any easy way to do this on one of my machines?
