hi
I know that I could use ssh tunneling:
ssh -fND localhost:6000 SOMEBODY@192.168.56.5 -p PORTNUMBER
to surf the web through another machines internet connection -> I just need to set Firefox to use proxy 6000.
But:
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?
Thank you
