on client, from shell prompt:
ssh -D 8080 -p <port> <IP address>
on client, in Firefox, under Advanced > Network > Connection Settings:
select "Manual proxy configuration:"
set SOCKS Host: 127.0.0.1
set Port: 8080
select "SOCKS v5"
Aside from a nonstandard port, the server machine's OpenSSH configuration
is basically default. There is a firewall/router between the server
machine and the ISP. The ISP is Comcast.
Using the proxy, trying to reach freebsd.org just gives me a blank page
and (Untitled) in the Firefox tab.
