Type: ssh -D 1337 -N -f -q -C username@example.com

This starts ssh and makes it listen on port 1337.

• -N tells ssh not to execute a remote command; needed since we're just forwarding a connection
• -f starts the program in the background (after you enter your password for the server, if needed)
• -q suppresses warnings
• -C compresses the connection

Then open Firefox. Go to preferences. Then network settings. Then click manual proxy settings. Enter these details:

• SOCKS Host: example.com
• Port: 1337.
• Click SOCKS v5
• Click Proxy DNS when using SOCKS v5.

Done
