How to achieve port forwarding

you will need a few things:

A computer through which you want to achieve port forwarding:

details required:

ip
port # any port would do
ssh key # if needed to access the computer or password
username on that computer


run this command in the terminal to port forward from port 8080 on your computer to the remote computer over ssh.

     ssh -D 8080 -C -N -i ~/.ssh/key.pem ubuntu@<ip>

Now configure your browser to talk to this computer as a proxy server on the port you specified.

This is browser level configuration for Firefox. You can configure the same proxy settings at Ubuntu/OS level to use it across the system from any browser or computer.

cheers.
