@Abel I've had a look at dsocks page, the "instructions" are kinda criptic but just did something this way:
# ssh -D 1080 user@sshdhost # dsocks.sh lynx google.com it looks like working (yeaahhhhh!!! great piece of advice, mate!!!) but also produces lotsa garbage on the screen bottom like: "lynx: (dsocks4) error reading reply: Connection refused" (even if, eventually, I get connection and the desired page) Issuing the following: # dsocks.sh lynx google.com 2>&1 /dev/null does not get rid of those messages. Maybe something wrong with v4/v5??? @Alex So it looks I've been misled by the many people on internet who claim they can use firefox establishing a ssh -D connection before. Actually I tried to configure both firefox and netsurf but just had no results. So, can I use ssh to proxy my http without dsocks or not?
