A friend asked me this; anyone know of such a beast?
Do you know of any anonymous redirectors that work on the IP level?
i.e.
I want to connect from site A to site Z anonymously. The anonymous
redirector is site M.
I assemble my IP packet with src address = A and dest adress = Z,
wrap it in another IP packet src = A, dest = M (i.e. I tunnel IP over
IP)
The redirector gets it, dynamically picks a new anonymous IP address Q.
It takes the src=A,dest=Z packet, munges the src address to Q, and sends
the packet out.
When packets src=Z,dest=Q arrive at the redirector, it remunges the
packet
to src=Z,dest=A, and ships it back to me (either tunneled or raw).
