Something I've been mulling in my head for a while. Proxies such as
Squid can be used for most protocols. How difficult is it to
SSL-encrypt the Squid proxy, and require all connections go through
that? That'd seem to allow even an open 802.11 network, as long as the
client didn't barf on the cert required to talk to the proxy.
