However, if you can get to your computer using Internet Desktop
Connection, you can then get to what you want that way. Remember,
that IDC is basically a "dumb terminal" to any Windows Vista or
XP machine. Your computer becomes nothing more than a keyboard,
mouse, screen, and speakers for the remote machine you are accessing.
Since your home PC, and your ISP is handling the traffic, it is harder
to figure out what you are doing. Since you are using nothing more than
a "dumb terminal", it would not violate any policies against using
proxies.

Well, providing an open proxy on my machine for the purpose
of allowing circumvention of filtering systems is NOT illegal.
As I have said, if it were, Tor would have been shut down long ago.
You would not see these lists of open proxies all over the net,
either. Running my own Tor entry proxy, to allow people, primarily
from work or school computers, there are locked down against
installation of additional software, to allow the Tor network to
be used, without installing the software, is LEGAL.
