Create socks proxy with ssh under Linux
If you have a server supporting ssh, you can easily create a socks proxy with ssh under linux, using the following commnd
$ssh -D portnumber username@ip-address-of-ssh-server
Then you got a socks proxy, localhost:portnumber. Just enjoy it in your browser or somewhere else.
Keep the terminal alive until u don’t need the proxy anymore.
