Can anybody tell me if it's possible for stunnel to act as a local web proxy that simply encrypts my outgoing HTTP traffic and decrypts it on the way back in? Specifically is it still possible to block urls at the hosting provider with this approach and is all my browsing then safe from prying eyes? What I want is along the lines of a VPN solution but it sounds like stunnel can at least take care of my HTTP needs.

Uhrm, what do you want to do exactly?
One way of interpreting your question would be the following:
client <-http-> local stunnel proxy <--https--> any webserver
and that would not work that way.
Might be my late evening problem but somehow I don't understand what you want to achieve. Care to explain?
