Earlier quoted context omitted.

Other issues: * It's leaking a lot of information (Google Analytics and a few other domains are being connected to directly instead of going through proxy). This is probably the biggest thing to fix. Offering a "strip all scripts" option may help. * Useragent is set to Go's default. Forwarding the user's user-agent or better yet, a stock browser useragent (Firefox or something) may be better

That first issue isn't really generally fixable, is it? At least, not for a web-based proxy like this. SOME effort could be made to rewrite URLs found inside of Javascript but that might be a terrible idea in practice.

If you're allowing Javascript then it'd be tough but if scripting is stripped it should be doable.

For anonymizing, stripping Javascript, Flash/plugin content would be essential I think.

Might not be the best of names.

@mkr-hn I understand. But, just check the site title if you haven't already. Maybe that would help see it from a different angle ?

My first thoughts were GoPro camera + bathroom. Doesn't change the visual very much, even at another angle. :P
