[ale] Hardware recommendation for Proxy

[John Burdell]

I've got a good friend of mine who is in China at the moment
and asked me last year to let me proxy his traffic through a
machine on my home network.

I just put Fedora on an old box and setup port forwarding on
my router to let him login via ssh and then he tunnels his traffic
so that everything appears to come from my home connection.
(In addition to the Great Firewall of China, apparently, he can't
login to his online banking or credit card account from China
without flags being raised on his accounts.)

I would like to continue to let my friend use my home connection,
but was wondering if it was possible to do this using a Linksys
WRT-54G?  The old box I'm currently letting him use is old and
I think uses a fair amount of power and I'd like to cut down my
electric bill as much as possible.

If anybody has any other suggestions, they'd also be appreciated.

Thanks,

John
