The following will remap port 10000 (a random free port) on localhost to 
port 80 (the web) on a target machine.   The `gateway' machine is the 
one that is uncensored.

ssh -L 10000:target:80 gateway

i.e. you'd use http://localhost:10000 instead of http://target

On Windows, you can use Putty (poke around in the Tunnel menu) or just 
get Cygwin and use the command above literally.
On a Mac or Linux, the command will work literally.

This is also handy for avoiding firewalls that block IMAP or POP ports.
