Summary: United States proxy server

Initial Comment:
All I really need Privoxy for is to set up a United States proxy server through which \
I can surf the internet.  I live in Venezuela but would like to see pages as if I \
were back home in the States.  Can Privoxy do this?  If so, how do I configure such a \
server?

Thanks,
Eric

Google is your friend. I have never been in your shoes, but I'd google on
it, and see if I could find a free proxy in the US somewhere, if that is
what you want.

Yes, that's helpful.  What's the easiest way I can access the internet
through a US proxy server?  I really have no idea of what I'm doing here. 
Thanks.

Yes, and no. My gut feeling is that privoxy is not the kind of proxy
server you think it is. A typical installation is for privoxy to run on the
same physical system as the user that installs it. And if you are in
Venezula, so is your "privoxy". But, you can munge any of the headers a
browser sends to identify itself, and to an extent, make it look like you
are something other than what you are. Is this helpful?
