If you setup a proxy server on your firewall or internal network at home, you can setup an ssh tunnel to your proxy server and then use the proxy over the tunnel. Apache is pretty easy to setup as a proxy server and I have used it exactly as you described above. There many other proxy servers that would work too, including squid and junkbuster. Technically, the proxy doesn't need to be on your network at all. You could setup a tunnel like so: ssh myhost -L 8080:public.proxyserver:proxyport The traffic between myhost and public.proxyserver would not be encrypted, but you'd still be encrypted from the the ssh client host to myhost. --Brad > I'd localhost:8080 my browser from > work, which would go to my lrp, which would, in turn go out onto the > internet.
