i was curious if any of you have had experience with windows proxy servers here. i'm looking for a proxy server for my home LAN that is able to block content, surf anonymously, etc. i can't seem to find any really good packages out there and was wondering if someone might have an opinion about any of the software.

thanks

If you put a proxy on your own network, it won't help anonymous browsing since they can still see your originating IP address.

Content filtering can be done client-side.

Unless you just really want to play around with a proxy server for learning/testing.
