HOWTO: Secure Firefox and IM with PuTTY
,----[ Quote ]
| There are times when you want to connect to the Internet through
| unknown and/or insecure networks such as the local Panera or other
| WiFi hotspot. If you aren?t careful, you might make it all tooeasy
| for someone to sniff your connection using Ettercap.
|
| One of the best ways to secure your connection is to use a VPN, but
| that isn?t always practical. So here?s a way to securely connect to
| the net using only an SSH client and a remote box that you
| control/trust.
