Hi guys,
I want to know if you get such a program that acts like the proxy in your browser,but for the whole PC, that routes ALL traffic through a certain IP. Do you get such programs that routes ALL connections and not just "in-browser"?
Thanks
 
Sounds like OpenVPN. It's also called "Tunneling" your traffic.

You usually use OpenVPN in combination with a real proxy service like yourfreedom

OpenVPN : http://openvpn.net/
YourFreedom : http://www.your-freedom.net/

OpenVPN can run over UDP (preferred, and default) or TCP. It multiplexes all communications over a single TCP/UDP port. It has the ability to work through most proxy servers (including HTTP) and is good at working through NAT and getting out through firewalls. The server configuration has the ability to "push" certain network configuration options to the clients. These include IP addresses, routing commands, and a few connection options. OpenVPN offers two types of interfaces for networking via the Universal TUN/TAP driver. It can create either a layer-3 based IP tunnel (TUN), or a layer-2 based Ethernet TAP that can carry any type of Ethernet traffic. OpenVPN can optionally use the LZO compression library to compress the data stream. Port 1194 is the official IANA assigned port number for OpenVPN. Newer versions of the program now default to that port. A feature in the 2.0 version allows for one process to manage several simultaneous tunnels, as opposed to the original "one tunnel per process" restriction on the 1.x series.

Well that's a rather complicated discussion, i can only point towards a tutorial on how to use OpenVPN with Your-Freedom

http://www.your-freedom.net/index.php?id=175

Note, this is 2 different apps. Your freedom is a app that creates a proxy on your pc, openvpn opens it up for all applications [not only browser].

However you might actually use it without openvpn and it might work.
