In need of a web proxy? We host one at Google App Engine based on open source code contributions of Brett Slatkin. His open source web cache code is hosted at: http://code.google.com/p/mirrorrr and his contributions to the community are very much appreciated.
Our version of this web proxy is hosted at http://cloudpl.us Employees and team mates of Crucial Point LLC can also access it via http://proxy.crucialpointllc.com
Why use a proxy server? This site provides a very simple way to cloak your IP address, which provides a degree of protection from surveillance of your actions. Sites being viewed through this proxy do not know the IP addressed assigned to you from your ISP. And, if you used the https version, there is an additional degree of protection against intercept.
The code for mirror has the following objectives: Google App Engine application that Mirrors the content of URLs you supply. Rewrites the fetched page to mirror all content, including images, Flash, Javascript, CSS, and even favicons. You stay within the cache at mirrorrr.com when you follow links. Useful for pulling load off of slashdotted servers. Also can be used to anonymize web access.
