Also easy way to setup a http proxy with ssh and no squid proxy.
ssh -D 8080 us...@host.com
in Firefox: goto tools -> options -> advanced -> network -> settings
-> manual settings
Under SOCKS Host: 127.0.0.1 8080
I am currently using this while sitting at MCI (Kansas City Airport).
Currently I can't browse the net, but with doing the above steps am
browsing. :)
