« Proxies can be a bigger pain

If you think that setting up a “transparent proxy” is a pain (setting up ACLs, iptables redirect etc), you now have a compelling reason not to use proxy at all :)

As per Associated Press article, US is considering stiffer sentences for using proxies in a crime, even the common ones we use today. But proxies, just like routers, are so common these days that many of the users don’t even know if they are using a proxy or not. What concerns me is that if a user does some thing unknowingly, even because of some malicious software, this new guideline might cause more pain. You can read the article here.
