Generic TCP proxy?

My ISP has a bad configured proxy under my connection, filtering HTTP (80).

This means that many sites report me as banned, even If I never visited them. I wanted to know if exists something like a generic tcp proxy, to send all my conections there.

I own a VPS server on lineo (london datacenter), and I have the idea of turning it in my personal proxy. Can I do it with iptables rules?

I know the existence of squid, but I've heard its only HTTP, and also a madness to configure.

suggestions?

Re: Generic TCP proxy?

A VPN set as the default route would probably work. I imagine there are instructions on the wiki for this.

You can also use tsocks + SSH. There is an option to force tsocks to load with every program.
