Hello

i have a root server and want so surf over it.

and is it possible to implement an exeption somehow?
for the local network.

ssh to the remote host specifying a "Gateway" port, this creates a secure Socks4 interface to the other end of the ssh connection.

Is there a way I can automatically set the firefox proxy via script or text file? When browsing over wireless, I want to go through my wired machine as proxy... but not otherwise. It is a drag to have to click around in firefox to set the proxy... it would be better if firefox would check the connection and set the proxy automatically.

Thanks,
