We use a StartCom.org certificate, because we have no more money for 
thawte or something else. StartCom.org is trusted by Firefox/Iceweasel 
and Konqueror by default. Sorry.

It is not all the time correct, its a quick hack solution based of 
IP-addresses of exit nodes. We know, someone has a better solution.

See at the website: "But note: the proxy admins of "awxcnx" can read 
your traffic! We don't have a look at your traffic, but you have to trust."

We think, thats a strong warning.

Yes, it is a german association (AK Vorratsdatenspeicherung) They do not 
have an english site, same as the second link to the German Privacy 
Foundation, which supports the server in all kinds. Should we remove the 
links on english pages?
