Hi Andrew,

I know the links, thanks anyway. They're so useful.

In fact it seems they (www.rootbsd.net) don't allow "open proxies", not 
anonymous proxies: http://www.rootbsd.net/faq/#section0_4

Do you allow IRC, torrents?

We do not allow IRC servers, bittorrent, open proxies, or any other 
software that can degrade our network performance or allow for abuse.

But after explaining to them that:

* it's not an OPEN proxy because I only permit port 80 and 443 (http and 
https) and no more

* I've limited the bandwidth (using BandwidthRate and AccountingMax 
directives) to assure the impossible degradation of the network performance

... they allow me to run Tor proxy. So, good for me and Tor network! For 
the moment I will stay will them.

I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. 
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. 
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
