If you want to browse the internet without having to go through the hassle of building a SSH Tunnel, then a quick and dirty solution would be to use a web proxy. There are limitations to what kind of websites it can work with since browsers cookies aren’t fully supported. e.g. GMail doesn’t work. phpMyProxy is a php web proxy script written by eProxies.info.
Installing phpMyProxy in Ubuntu
Download phpMyProxy_1.0.3.zip and extract it into the web host directory.
$unzip phpMyProxy_1.0.3.zip /var/www
phpMyProxy requires the client URL library for PHP.
$ sudo apt-get install php5-curl
Modify the proxy.config.php file; it’s recommended to change the 'url_var_name' from 'q' to something else like 'url' otherwise Google search would not work with phpMyProxy.
To hide your traffic it’s recommend do encryption with SSL which can be easily setup with Apache.
