Simple socks proxy with ssh

SSH can be used to create a simple socks proxy.

Just establish a connection from your local machine to an other computer with a running ssh server:
ssh -D 9292 user@host
 After that, setup your browser to use the local ssh redirect to connect to the internet.


That's all, you can check your IP address with a service like: http://geoiptool.com/ now.
