[K12OSN] Proxy Help

[Walker, Clay]

I've already modified my iPrism along with other neighboring districts
"older" iprism boxes to put OpenBSD with PF to create firewalls and
routers.  Of course, the 64MB flashdisk was not big enough so I had to
cut a hole in the top of the case and mount a 3.5" HDD (wanted to not
spend money).  Set up serial console and been running like a champ.

I would think you could do many things such as openvpn.

Yeah, but don't they have their own list of sites? I'm paying for the
subscription mostly. I cracked open the old one we recently replace and
have been playing with the idea of making it an OpenVPN box.
