Bypass Firewall using SSH

[Avicenna]

Guys, how do you bypass firewall using SSH? Using terminal, i typed in "ssh username@ip" and it brings my command prompt from home. So I'm guessing I successfully SSHed, but what to do now?

thanks !

Well, what are you hoping/expecting to do? You've logged in remotely to the other machine. You can enter all sorts of shell/unix commands.

What does a firewall have to do with this?

I want to port forward, so I can go to blocked websites(such as Youtube). Is it possible?

You're taking the wrong path for your problem. I'm leaving it at that as you should follow the rules of your internet provider, be it your school or your parents.

I didn't come here for moral advice. Thanks though.

lol, i actually made that my bg.

but seriously, does anyone actually know how to do this? is it even possible on a mac?

ssh -D 8080 -f -C -q -N you@yoursshserver

Then just make the local machine use 127.0.0.1:8080 as a SOCKS proxy.

thanks, but how exactly can i make the local machine use localhost:8080

Nvm, got it. Thanks enberg and LPZ.
For those wondering, its in Network -> Advanced, and SOCKS.
