Actually, you don't even need squid on the other end. All you need is to make ssh use its DynamicForward: $ ssh -N -f -D 1080 remotehost And, bam! I have a socks5 proxy tunnel from your localhost to the remotehost. Any application that can use socks5 (firefox, xchat, gaim, etc) can now use the tunnel to connect to anything through the tunnel and from the remote host. ../troy /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
