I think you might want to take a look at Squid. It's a really good proxy
server. You can probably get binaries for Linux, or compile it yourself.
One of it's configuration options is "http_annonimizer" which can be set
to off, standard and paranoid.

Once installed, you simply tell your netscape to use it as a proxy server. 

I had the same server when I was using dialup - a smallish (100MB) proxy
cache can dramatically increase your surfing speed.
