    Yes, anonymizer.com is a frightening alternative.

    www.Cotse.net is much more "up front" about their policies, logs, etc. I've
    had good luck with Cotse.

    www.Anonx.com (a new one) in Vanuatu is very interesting; it uses a vpn that
    forwards every port you may use (i.e. IRC, media streaming, everything goes through
    their server, so that your RDNS goes nowhere). I've been testing them and they are
    both fast and comprehensive. Can't find published privacy policy - but their
    start up is pretty well known
