To use a proxy with most applications, it is simply necessary to set the appropriate environment variables. Eg, I have a squid proxy running on the server 'proxy', port 3128, so I put the following in my .bashrc: export HTTP_PROXY=proxy:3128 export http_proxy=http://proxy:3128/ export ftp_proxy=http://proxy:3128/ To use an ssh tunnel, you already have the command right there.. I use a tiny rc script to manage my ssh tunnels, it is attached. Put in /usr/local/etc/rc.d and add the following settings to /etc/rc.conf proxy_tunnel_enable="YES" proxy_tunnel_remote_user="some...@somehost" You should also set up passwordless ssh authentication for root to the u...@host you wish to use for proxying to, and then simply change your local users proxy settings.
