What a throwback. Used to run cgi-proxy to tiptoe around ol' Bessie.

Bess blocked sites about evolution I tried to visit when I was preparing for a biology class debate. Luckily, the local ISP’s proxy was dead simple to configure in Netscape 4 and got around Bess.

I wonder how many kids got their start learning to get around that thing. It wasn't very good at what it did.
