    I'm in Iran, and a lot of freaking websites are blocked here by the government (read: facebook, some news websites, websites telling you how to get around such blocks, etc.). I have a proxy program, but it's for windows and I run it in parallels. What's more, it only runs with internet explorer. So, in the interest of not having to open up parallels every time, and, what's more, avoiding that stupid internet explorer, I need to find a proxy program for mac.

    Any suggestions?

    Firefox can be setup to use a proxy, or you can use online services like proxify.

    Theres also tor, which can be useful ( for osx you'll need Vidalia)

    Though id say if you were going to be sending private information, and passwords, you might want to get a proxy which you pay for. That way, your info doesn't get passed about online.
