Simply:
- Code: Select all
ssh -f -N -D 4949 amos.twilightparadox.com
obviously change the port and hostname to match your system
(System Admin takes care of above part)
--------------------------------------------------
In putty:
Setup a normal ssh connection
in the options, (on left) choose "tunnels" from "SSH" drop down
choose the "dynamic" checkbox
and enter in the port u set your proxy up with above (4949 in this example).
the destination should be the hostname or IP you are connecting to on the SSH connection (amos.twilightparadox.com in this example)
Make sure you save the connection.
Then just connect to that session and leave it open
------------------------
Now open your favorite browser that supports socks (Flock is good)...
Go into your connection settings and choose manual proxy configuration....
socks host should be 127.0.0.1 and the port would be 4949 in this example
Shouldn't need to worry about the others (i.e. http proxy, ssl,ftp,gopher proxies)
Hope that helps
