I've been using my own proxies for years, just a plain SSH dynamic SSH tunnel (SOCKS). It's pretty easy to do with a cheap linux VPS. If you want, you can set up a tunnel on one local port and another one (from another VPS) on another port to be used by different applications. Firefox can be configured to use it and query DNS over it as well, making it completely transparent. On linux things work out of the box, on Windows clients I use Putty to connect to the VPS.
- jrapdx3 10y agoOn Windows with Cygwin, setting up an SSH proxy works just like it does under Linux/BSD, pretty easy to do[0]. I prefer it over Putty because Putty doesn't accept the same SSH key as used on unix systems which is a bit of a pain to deal with. I also think it's nicer using the Cygwin bash shell as the terminal, especially if needing to use it frequently.
