This guide applies to people who have a shell (SSH) account on a box located in the US. If you do not have a SSH account please check your web hosting provider as you usually get SSH access along with your FTP access. Please ask your hosting provider for SSH access if not, as it should really be part of your hosting package. If they do not want to provide such access it may be time to look for a different hosting company.

The other alternative is to look for a free SSH account which can easily be found by searching a bit.

You need a SSH client such as Putty where you configure tunnelling under Connections > SSH > Tunnels. Enter for example "Source port" as 8080, tick the "Dynamic" box and finally click "Add". Now you go back to the first screen called "Session" and enter the hostname/IP of the server you are connecting to. You will be prompted for your username and password.

Now you need to open your browser connection settings and configure it to use a SOCKS proxy on "127.0.0.1" and port "8080". Save and close.

Please note that ALL your traffic will go through your SSH account slowing down your normal web browsing. A solution to this is to only route traffic via your SSH tunnel by using globalpandora's proxy automatic configuration file as described in an earlier guide. Simply follow the guide's points 4 and 5.
