How To Install a Socks Proxy for Web Browsing on My Own Server?

    Hi All

    I live in Thailand and they censor what webpages we can view using proxies at the ISPs.

    Currently when I am on the internet port 80 will sometimes not work, i.e. MSN, email, FTP is still working, but I can't browse any pages. This has led me to believe that the proxies they are using to check what sites we are visiting are buggered. It is fruitless trying to get the ISPs to improve... this is Thailand.

    Anyway, I have a couple of my own servers in the US and am looking at installing some sort of socks proxy on them so that I don't have to use port 80 to surf webpages. Then there wouldn't be any more downtime for me.

    Can someone point me to a SECURE program that would be ideal and safe for my intended use?

    Cheers, Matt.
