Interesting things to do with a VPS ?

Ok so I have a few VPS’s atm… one is used all the time and I bought another just to have a play with…

Now on the one I play with I set up a IRC bouncer witch was rather interesting to see how it worked and what was going on :slight_smile:

now im currently running Irssi on it instead of actually bouncing… and its nice…

But I was wondering if anyone actually knows of any software I can install that will give me a web based proxy… something like proxify ? but obviously at my server :slight_smile:

and also if you know of anything else I could try and run on it…

also I was wondering if I got rid of my hosting company for my website could I setup a mail server on the vps to get all my emails ? saves me paying for hosting aswell as my vps :slight_smile:

Thanks
