What exactly do you mean that it won't obscure your torrenting? I was under the impression that ssh SOCKS5 proxies are quite safe with SSL. Basically, SOCKS5/SOCKS4a will both route DNS through as well. However, you are definitely right if it is SOCKS4 as that will not put DNS requests through the proxy. But, in ssh's proxy supports SOCKS5 and is the default in the method described on the post. Let me know if you have some detail on something I do not. Thanks in advance!
