Hey there jdd, Isn't it easiest to use 'NX' for this? Other than launching a full X Desktop to another machine, it's also possible to launch a single application. The only downside is that the proxy server needs to be running an instance of 'FreeNX' (which means I assume you have root permission to that machine) and the client needs to have the (free) nomachine.org client installed. Perhaps this isn't want you want but it seems to meet all your demand (proxy a browser over ssh). Best of luck. Joris On Sun, May 31, 2009 at 09:42, jdd <jdd@dodin.org> wrote:

Hello :-)

I try using a tunnelling from openSUSE 11.1 to an online server with the syntax below with firefox:

$ssh -D 9999 username@ip-address-of-ssh-server

and proxy localhost 9999

in firefox

google seems to say there is nothing more to do, but FF keep saying the proxy don't accept the connection

I tried this with a 10.2 server (old, I know, to be replaced by the next) and ubuntu server with the same result. of course the connection terminal to the server opens, I give the pass, but FF still don't works

any idea?
