Browsing using SSH (Dynamic Port Forwarding)

SSH Dynamic Port Forwarding is a way of opening a SOCK 4/5 proxy server on your local computer and forwarding all of the data to an ssh server your are running someplace else on the network.

Sometimes you are on an untrusted network, but have to use protocols that aren't completely secure and you don't want someone else on the local lan sniffing what you are doing.

By using ssh dynamic port forwarding you can create an encrypted tunnel to a trusted network so others have a harder time sniffing passwords.

The other use of ssh dynamic port forwarding : Suppose u have a lan connection and u are not able to use internet due to some technical problem using this technique you can easily connect to internet.
