How to setup SSH tunnel, Web Proxy, Bitvise Tunnelier, sock browsing

First, In order to have SSH tunnel web proxy, you need to have a shell account.
you can get shell account from RisingNet.com 
The reason that we choose Risingnet because they provide Dedicated IP address which mean only you can use your own personal IP and it is not share with anyone else.
Moreover, you can choose any TCP port that you wish the SSH server to listen.


Second, you need an SSH client so you can setup tunnel or web proxy to the shell account.
I use Bitvise Tunnelier, you can download it from their website, it is free.
