Before making my original post I tried it out with a handful of sites. Seems
to work fine.

I tried it out but I am not concerned about anonymity so no longer
bother. It seemed to work as advertised.

Located old file below that may be of interest. The article
was long so have only included the first and last paragraphs.
Effects of this may be still lingering for JAP causing users
to shy away.

Net anonymity service back-doored
By Thomas C Greene in Washington
Posted: 21/08/2003 at 11:53 GMT

The popular Java Anonymous Proxy (JAP), used to anonymise one's
comings and goings across the Internet, has been back-doored by court
order. The service is currently logging access attempts to a
particular, and unnamed, Web site and reporting the IP addys of those
who attempt to contact it to the German police.

Justifying it after the fact, as the JAP team did, simply isn't good
enough.

Telling us that they only did it to help catch criminals isn't good
enough either. Sure, no normal person is against catching criminals -
the more the merrier, I say. But what's criminal is highly relative,
always subject to popular perception and state doctrine. If we accept
Germany's definition of criminal activity that trumps the natural
right to anonymity and privacy, then we must accept North Korea's,
China's and Saudi Arabia's. They have laws too, after all. The entire
purpose of anonymity services is to sidestep state regulation of
what's said and what's read on the basis of natural law.

Maybe NOT so anonymous, but for what its worth, if anything.

JAP makes it possible to surf the internet anonymously and unobservably.

I've been using it for about a year now. I usually leave it off but turn
it on when the Surf Control software here (at work) blocks a web site.
I've found that it's slow - but it certainly allows me to circumvent the
Surf Control software. There's a couple of tweaky things that happen
when I try to access https pages but for normal web browsing, it works
fine for me.
