In the thread you posted, they explained why it is likely to be exceptionally slow. You also didn't reply to the last post, where they are still trying to help you with alternatives. Was there a reason you started a new thread?
Have you tried using the Tor browser bundle? That should (hopefully) let you browse directly from your own computer, and hence speed up your page load time. Alternatively, set up the server as an actual (HTTP) proxy server, which would send you the page HTML, rather than an image of the page.
However, if you are going to do anything like this (with or without Tor) in a country where it could have potentially life-threatening consequences, I would at the very least ask to have this thread transferred to the Linux - Security forum, to get more knowledgeable people have a look at it.
Please post your thread in only one forum. Posting a single thread in the most relevant forum will make it easier for members to help you and will keep the discussion in one place. This thread is being closed because it is a duplicate.
