SOCKS proxy over SSH

In case of Socratic difficulty,

• Start an SSH tunnel with

$ ssh -D 1337 -N 〈remotehost〉

Here -D 〈port〉 means to set up a tunnel whose local end is 〈port〉, and -N means don't run a shell command at the far end. You can add more options -f to fork a background process and -q to use 'quiet mode' if you wish.

• Configure a SOCKS proxy with Settings>Network>Network Proxy set to Manual and Socks host = localhost:1337.
