Note that if your only aim in joining AnoNet is to search Google anonymously, you can save yourself the hassle L<by just heading over to Scroogle|http://www.scroogle.org/>. If you're looking to browse the rest of the public Internet anonymously, though, we now have outbound proxies, which you're more than welcome to use.
