Is there anything special in the way of configuration that is required to enable a CentOS box to act as the point of origin for an http request routed to it via a SOCKS ssh link?
I have researched this matter and the recommended procedure is to open an SSH connection to the desired host passing the requisite switches so:
ssh -f -n -D <port> user@host.domain.tld
And then reconfigure the desired applications to use the localhost:<port> as the SOCKS proxy.
Would this blog help? It's been working for me:
