It 'was' a linux box with multiple nic's running squid, iptables and whichever flavour of the month vpn package.. It all started with 'off the shelf' Smoothwall/Ipcop and moved on from there.

Now its all over the place with multiple boxes as I 'experiment' Multicast proxy is next on the list.

I remember reading about a guy on the overclockers website who set up a "war driver" network. basically had an access point linked to a Cisco catalyst switch, the switch port was mirrored to another laptop which would then sniff all the data of people who jumped onto his internet connection. So think twice before using someone elses.......especially if the network SSID is called "free internet" or names to that effect....could be a trap you know
