@Tony: Your idea of an SSL tunnel is brilliant. Count me in when you guys get hooked up with the server in USA.
You can actually do this using vidalia / tor (https://www.torproject.org/vidalia/ ) The vidalia GUI lists various servers and countries of origin which are used for routing traffic. The trick is it identify country specific servers as exit nodes (e.g. if you want to route through norway... identify a couple of norwegian nodes in vidalia...) Then edit the 'torrc' file used by vidalia and add the following settings : StrictExitNodes 1 ExitNodes server1.no, server2.no, server3.no Where server1.no etc... are the nodes you identified earlier.... (Of course the biggest caveat here is that a malicious exit node can run a plain text sniffer - to sniff all unencrypted http traffic )
