931107 - configuring squid

i'm too beginner in squid. i want a way to remain anonymous over the net. i also want to be able to access the contents of the internet which are filtered. my Windows computer is beyond firewall (filtered). my server (CentOS 5) is not. for example, when i enter http://facebook.com in the browser url, it redirects to an intranet ip which tells me to avoid going to this site! now i've installed squid on server and traffic is propagated through this server. but this redirection occurs. so still i can't open filtered sites. what can i do? a friend of mine told that the only way is to use https. ie. the connection between browser (Firefox) and the server must use this protocol. is it right? and how can i do that? what's your suggestion? i don't want necessarily to use squid. besides, https protocol gets banned or decreased in speed in my country sometimes. so i prefer the protocol remain http. i thought also about writing a code in client and server to transform, compress/decompress and packetize as hoax binary http packets to be sent as much speed and success as possible. but i'm not an expert in this context and now i prefer more straightforward ways. i respect any help/info.

I assume you are located in Iran. I would suggest using TOR if you mainly access websites. The latest release works reasonably well in Iran. It also includes an option to obfuscate traffic so it is not easily detectable that you are using TOR.

A easy way to get the TOR package is using the autoresponder: https://www.torproject.org/projects/gettor.html In case the website is blocked, it works as follows:

Users can communicate with GetTor robot by sending messages via email. Currently, the best known GetTor email address is [email protected]. This should be the most current stable GetTor robot as it is operated by Tor Project.

To ask for Tor Browser a user should send an email to GetTor robot with one of the following options in the message body:

windows: If the user needs Tor Browser for Windows.
linux: If the user needs Tor Browser for Linux.
osx: If the user needs Tor Browser for Mac OSX.
