Secure Browsing With Squid and SSH
Public areas that offer access to the Internet (airports, open wireless networks, etc.) have no security in place. If you’re at a public WiFi spot, your personal information can be sniffed by other malicious users. This hack will show you a way to secure your web browser when using public networks.
In a nutshell, we’re going to setup a proxy server (Squid) on a trusted SSH server and create a secure connection from our laptop, over a public network to a secure remote server. We’ll tell the browser to use the secure SSH tunnel as an HTTP proxy.
