ssh tunneling

ssh tunneling

In the client execute:

$ ssh -N -D user@CompB

where CompB is the server

To use this ssh tunneling with internet browser, for example firefox, change the "Connection Settings", under "Manual proxy configuration", update the "SOCKS Host:" to localhost:any_free_port. Notice that any_free_port here must be the same one as the one used in ssh.

Opera browser does not have socks proxy configuration. One way to do it is by using "tsocks."
Install tsocks:

$ sudo apt-get install tsocks

edit /etc/tsocks.conf, and change
server = 127.0.0.1 # this is localhost
server_port = # again, this must match with the port used in ssh.
