I use

  ssh -D9999 user@remotehost.com
And now I have a local SOCKS proxy running. I just have to change the proxy configuration in my browser using SOCKS4a at localhost:9999 and I can surf as if I were on remotehost


This is really useful. And if you do

  ssh -ND 9999
it doesn't open a shell.

This may stop you from accidentally shutting down your tunnel thinking it's just another ssh session.


i use ssh -D plus FoxyProxy on a daily basis, it's made my life a whole lot easier!


tsocks might help also for apps which do not have native socks support.
