====== Ubuntu - VPN - 5 Second VPN ======

ssh has a really nifty **-D** option to implement a SOCKS5 proxy.  

Therefore 

<code bash>
ssh -D localhost:8080 remote.box
</code>

and then setup Firefox to **use localhost:8080** as a SOCKS proxy server. 

But it gets better; If you are worried that DNS requests will leak onto the local network, it turns out with SOCKS5 all you need to is go to the Firefox **about:config** page and turn on network.proxy.socks_remote_dns and DNS is tunneled too.
