I have been doing this for almost a year using an offshore service called the MetroPipe Tunneler and their SOCKS Proxy.
Just basic SSH Tunneling with an easy to use system that encrypts the traffic from your machine to MetroPipe, and from there you go out on the net via Proxies and others see MetroPipe and not your IP.
What is good about MetroPipe is that they are NOT located in the USA. And they do not keep logs to even give to anyone that even asks.
Let alone all the other Proxies they offer such as POP-FTP etc.
And about speed. Give me a break. Of course there will be a speed slowdown. That is the price to pay for an additional layer of privacy.
Boo Hoo. Additional hops mean slower download speed. Fine by me. The extra privacy and anonymity is well worth it. And with todays DSL speed I get, even with the additional HOP, I still have blazing speed especially if you try and price a raw T1.
I am happy with My 2 Cents. Peace.
