I did something useful. I’ve written a script called findproxy which will automagically find an open, highly anonymous proxy server that accepts connections to a specified host on a specified port.
For instance, my place of work blocks AIM access. No problem; just configure the script to try and connect to AIM’s login server (login.oscar.aol.com) on the AIM port (5190) and let ‘er fly. It will output a list of proxy servers which are up and allow forwarding to that port. Configure AIM to use that proxy, and you’re done.
It’s for the bash shell, so it it will not work for you Windows users out there.
