unless the proxy you setup is inside the iranian infrastructure (ie, on the iran side of the choke-point), it's going to be relatively worthless, since the chokepoint will show the traffic from iran going to your proxy. realistically you've got few options:
- install on the inside, so when the chokepoint logs say "it's $PROXY_IP doing it", your lack of logs protects those that connected to your proxy
- route around the chokepoint, for which you'll need access to infrastructure that will be difficult to secure (assuming iran's network security dudes aren't total fucking morons).
- links that do not rely on iranian infrastructure (an encrypted link to a satellite for e.g.)

A squid or tor proxy on the outside's going to exactly nothing to protect anyone in Iran -- their packets still have to leave the country to get to your proxy!

then you get all sorts of "but i don't want it to make sound!" or "do i have to turn my volume up?" complaints

I want a website where my ssn and vote are public record!

You obviously haven't thought this idea out very well; that's just asking for the system to be abused.

Otherwise any advantage gained by size will be hugely offset by the sad fact that the thing moves like a turtle in molasses.

Turns out that turtles will probably swim just fine in molasses.

4e is nothing but table top World of Crapcraft.

No, you can still buy World of Warcraft online if you want to.
