Simple. Just set up a system somewhere (on your broadband connection at home, in a colo, anywhere you can reach it from the internet at large). Run openssh (Secure Shell) on it. Run a squid proxy configured to only allow loopback connections. Now ssh to the box, forward local port 8080(or whatever) to 127.0.0.1:<sqiudport> on the remote host. Now configure your browser's proxy settings to point to 127.0.0.1:8080(or whatever you chose as the local port) and surf away. All your connections will be encrypted via SSH until they reach the remote machine at which point the squid proxy will go out and retrieve the web pages for you. No prying eyes on the LAN you are on will be able to see what you are doing, unless they look at your monitor. This also gets around most URL filtering for when you are doing <ahem> research...
Or you can just relax and go with the flow...

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
