You can also set up a SOCKS proxy with ssh; Most web applications
support this kind of proxy, and it will handle traffic on multiple ports
(e.g. web, email, IM). It's also a good practice when you're using
wireless in untrusted places, but have a server you can use as the proxy.
ssh -D [port] -f sleep 1d [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I think an SSH tunnel would

The following will remap port 10000 (a random free port) on localhost to
port 80 (the web) on a target machine. The `gateway' machine is the
one that is uncensored.
ssh -L 10000:target:80 gateway
i.e. you'd use http://localhost:10000 instead of http://target
On Windows, you can use Putty (poke around in the Tunnel menu) or just
get Cygwin and use the command above literally.
On a Mac or Linux, the command will work literally.
This is also handy for avoiding firewalls that block IMAP or POP ports.
