excuse if im going over something you already know...but anyway...

basically with ssh you can forward ports over the ssh connection. so in my example i have a squid running on my home linux box listenin on port 1080.

i then from work

ssh -p 23 -L 1080:127.0.0.1:1080 userid@home

this makes your ssh connectoin as usual, too the telnet port...and forwards any traffic heading to your 127.0.0.1 port 1080 to "home".

i then point mozilla to my proxy of http://127.0.0.1 port 1080.

And then i can surf and view whatever i like. The socks server is something i've added later...so i can run trillian or just about whatever will accept a socks server in its settin.
