SOCKS5 Proxy for secure browsing

If you use to connect from open access internet points and you have a valid account on a SSH server , in my case I can use a simple modified router a Pirelli AGA (mounting linux and a valid SSH server) to do so.

From the shell of the client

fem@rodizio:~$ ssh USER_SERVERSSH@SERVERSSH -p 1022 -D 2100

"-p 1022" since my ssh service listen on this port (the default one is 22)
"-D 2100" tells the SSH client (localhost) to listen at this port to listen our browser requests.

We have only to go on browser settings (ie, opera, firefox ,chrome etc) and indicate that we use a socks5 proxy indicating as ip "localhost" and as port "2100"

that's all
