ssh -D is your friend!
Are you stuck behind a firewall?
Does your work block access to facebook?
Do you want to watch English Telly from abroad?
SSH -D is your friend.
All you need to bypass the firewall;
ssh access to a VPS
ssh -D8080 me@myserver.com // keep this open
go to your browser
set “connect via SOCKS proxy” on port 8080
keep the ssh connection open
voila!
Your internet access is now...
