Kids Outsmart Web Filters

Stefanie Olsen writes on C|Net News:

Web proxies are almost as old as the Internet itself as a means to route Web traffic through an anonymous domain name or circumvent content-filters, and they've long been the territory of corporate networks and the tech savvy seeking privacy.
