VPN’s are great. I moved to Wireguard a while ago and I haven’t looked back. However, sometimes, especially on my laptop, I need a quick VPN. This is the fastest solution I’ve found. It uses SSH to create an encrypted tunnel and also creates a local SOCKS server. You then configure Firefox to direct all requests to the SOCKS server on localhost that are directed down the tunnel where they exit and travel on to the destination web server.
