Why not just set up an http proxy on a linode box which only listens to localhost. Then use ssh -L to set up a port forwarding from your local host port 3128 to your linode host's port 3128, and then configure your browser to use localhost:3128 as your http proxy. Easy!
(Alternatively, I just pull out my Nexus 7 with LTE support, and either turn on the portable wifi hotspot feature, or plug it into my laptop, and turn on USB tethering. Problem solved. :-P)
- twinge 13y agoYou don't even need to run a proxy on the linode host: just use ssh's SOCKS proxy (the -D flag). https://mikeash.com/ssh_socks.html https://mikeash.com/ssh_socks.html Though this might require some more work to avoid DNS MITM, because it only tunnels TCP.
