How to create a vpn with a server you have access to

Connect to ssh to your server:

ssh -D 127.0.0.1:8082 apps

Where apps is setup in ~/.ssh/config:

  User root
  IdentityFile ~/.ssh/whathaveyou,
  HostName IP

Open up chrome with that connection as a proxy:

google-chrome --proxy-server="socks5://127.0.0.1:8082"

There you go, that browser session is passing all its traffic through your server.
