<br>
I know that I could use ssh tunneling:<br>
<br>
ssh -fND localhost:6000 SOMEBODY@192.168.56.5 -p PORTNUMBER<br>
<br>
to surf the web through another machines internet connection -> I just need to set Firefox to use proxy 6000.<br>
<br>
But:<br>
<br>
How can I set that on the client side, to e.g.: ping through the
machine with openssh-server? Not just setting Firefox to use port 6000.
Is there any method for setting the default proxy in Linux, so that if
I use wget, I will download through the ssh tunnel?<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
