[TriLUG] Proxy Proxy, who's got my Proxy?

[Greg Brown]

I used to use a Squid reverse proxy but now I just connect to the ssh host
with a -D option and that proxies all the traffic via SOCKS.  It works
wonderfully and there is zero software to run on the SSH host (in my case an
iMac across the Internet).  It even forwards IPv6 connections to devices
connected to IPv4 only networks.

My connection from my source machine runs the command:

ssh greg at host.remotenetwork.com -D 8888

>From there I just point Firefox to use a SOCKS proxy at 127.0.0.1 on 8888.
