Forgive me if this has been answered somewhere else, but I didn't come across it.

I am currently located in a country that heavily restricts internet access by way of a national firewall/proxy. As such, I rely heavily on SSH tunnels and VPN connections to "get stuff done". A few of the sites blocked are Flickr and (occasionally) Facebook.

So here is my question:

I can SSH into my chumby and instantiate a tunneled connection in the normal way one would expect using something like
' ssh -D 8282 myserver.com -l user '

But there doesn't seem to be any settings for a proxy server in the control panel. Is there an easy workaround to this? Am I just missing something?

Or is this a config change I need to make somewhere? I am quite comfortable on the terminal, just not entirely sure how one goes about configuring a local proxy for this sort of thing. I typically just set the proxy to SOCKS on 'localhost port 8282' and go.
