Hi Tood,

Thanks for replying. But I'm a newbie and I don't quite understand.
Would you care to explain in more detail?

I have a Linux VPS with Plesk and Virtuosso and I'm running Windows XP
at home. How would I connect to my VPS?

Cheers,
Alex

Absolutely.

mylocalwindowsboxcygwin$ ssh -D 1080 myuseridforsurfin.DeleteThis@my.vps.ip.com

Set web browser to proxy socks v4 at 127.0.0.1 port 1080 and presto,
all your surfing appears to come from your vps box.

Best Regards,

Ok, I see. So I connect to my VPS using putty first. But can you tell
me what commands to type step by step?

Do I need to install cygwin in my local windows first?

To use my command, yes. The only thing above the base packages you'll
need is openssh from the net tree of packages. You'll see the tree of
packages during install.

I don't know if putty supports dynamic proxying but it might.

You ssh to your vps as I described to set up the dynamic proxy, then
you set your web browser to use that proxy. It's a socks4 proxy at
the address 127.0.0.1. Where you set proxies depends on what
you're using to browse the web.

PuTTY.

You DO have SSH access to your VPS, right?

He may wish to open port 1080... On the VPS I have it was closed by the
