    Anonymizing on the Server Side.

    Hello All,

    I would like to set-up an anonymous blog. I have a number of other websites using VPS on the same server. I would like to setup the blog on this server. The problem is the IP is going to match my other sites. To keep the anonymity tight I figure I need a proxy and would be willing to pay for such a service. Of course traditionally proxies are designed to hide the anonymity of the surfer not the server. I realize the bandwidth requirements would be much greeter than a client side proxy. Does such a service exist because I have been unable to find any information at all with an exhaustive internet search? If not, is there anything else I can do? I have looked into tor.eff.org but this seem it would be too constricting bandwidth wise, plus it doesn't need to be anonymous on both sides. I would still like to collect statistics if possible.

    Thanks in advance.

    thelinuxguy,

    Frankly, I would like to avoid an IP owned by the same provider. Perhaps I am being too paranoid, but I have a moderately high traffic business blog and the reputation it generates is very important to my income. The anonymous blog will be more of a personal diary (and I'm sure very low traffic) and may even discuss clients (without names or specifics). If it ever got linked to my identity it would truly be a nightmare.

    Why not just host it somewhere else? Surely if its important to your income you can buy another 50 dollar a month vps somewhere else.

    Or you could buy cheap $10 shared hosting.

    I have become spoiled on the control a dedicated server gives me and I can't justify buying one for a low traffic site. Plus my host has been great, and when I find a good business that supports me right I like to support it. But you're right, it looks like I just need to suck it up and go with a different company and perhaps a VPS, or stop being so frigin' paranoid

    As to my original question, if only for curiosities sake, is there such a thing as server side proxy or any other anonymous methods that can be taken?

    Thanks
