How to setup simple proxy with auth command for secure browsing?

Dude, I was in the same boat last week. I ended up using `ssh -D` to create a SOCKS proxy. It’s not exactly a traditional proxy, but it’s super easy to setup and works with auth if you’re using SSH keys or a password.

Just run:
`ssh -D 1080 -C -N user@your.server`

Then configure your browser to use the proxy. No need for extra tools or config files.
