  • It sounds much cooler than it is. Cmder is a portable terminal emulator that handily has ssh installed, which lets you log in to a remote shell and also for some reason has a feature that lets you map ports on the local machine to ports on the remote machine (a proxy).The Firefox extension is just a proxy switcher from the addons site. It really just boils down to one command:

    ssh -D 8080 remote.host
    

    Then you have a SOCKS proxy at localhost:8080 to point Firefox at.

    I will say that I literally explained what I was doing to supervisors and coworkers and never got in trouble but I’ve worked at some pretty lax employers.
