Found out how to do it. Since this subject is talked about in the Documentation I figured out the problem probably laid with the firewall... It did.
So long story short: 1) Download firefox-esr with the package manager and install whatever plugins you need (noscript, httpseverywhere, ...) 2) Setup ssh as a tor hidden service on the remote end (this ensures the fail close part: you won't be able to connect if you don't go through tor) 3)Punch a hole in the firewall, here I open port 9999 sed -i 's/(9050 9061 9062 9150)/(9050 9061 9062 9150 9999)/g' /etc/ferm/ferm.conf /usr/sbin/ferm /etc/ferm/ferm.conf 4) Open the tunnel ssh -D 9999 -CNf [email protected] 5) Configure firefox to use it, thanks to the firewall if it's not using your tunnel or TOR it won't connect to anything This setup seems sound but I'd love some informed feedback about it.
