Start your SSH tunnel
You've got access to an SSH server and you want to start using it as your proxy. To do so, you're going to set up a "tunnel" which passes web traffic from your local machine to the proxy over SSH. The command to do so is:
ssh -ND 9999 you@example.com
Set Firefox to use SOCKS proxy
Once your proxy's up and running, configure Firefox to use it. From Firefox's Tools menu, choose Options, and from the Advanced section choose the Network tab. Next to "Configure how Firefox connects to the Internet" hit the "Settings" button and enter the SOCKS information, which is the server name (localhost) and the port you used (in the example above, 9999.)

Recently I have read so many articles to know how to encrypt the browsing session. I admit that you have suggested some great options to do so. I will do try to make use of these options. Thanks.
