Re: could you advise a good https proxy?

[Brad Edmondson <brad.edmondson () gmail com>]

The openssh architecture allows you to create a local SOCKS proxy on
your client machine which any SOCKS-aware application (IE & Firefox)
can use.  It will tunnel all traffic sent to the local proxy through
your ssh connection (e.g. To your unix box) and then out to the 'net.
For Windows, use PuTTY and its "dynamic port" setting in the Tunnels
section.  OpenSSH server (non-standard port recommended) on the remote
end will work fine.

Will that solution work for you?

Brad

Securing Apache Web Server with thawte Digital Certificate
In this guide we examine the importance of Apache-SSL and who needs an SSL certificate.  We look at how SSL works, how 
it benefits your company and how your customers can tell if a site is secure. You will find out how to test, purchase, 
install and use a thawte Digital Certificate on your Apache web server. Throughout, best practices for set-up are 
highlighted to help you ensure efficient ongoing management of your encryption keys and digital certificates.
