• Unix, MacOS-X: ssh -D7777 login.cs.uni-bonn.de (students) or ssh -D7777 hera.cs.uni-bonn.de (employees)
• Putty running on Windows:
  1. In Session: Host login.cs.uni-bonn.de (students) or hera.cs.uni-bonn.de (employees)
  2. In Connection: open the sub-menu SSH
  3. In Tunnels: destination dynamic, source port 7777, ADD
  4. Then Open

Finally, configure in your web browser localhost:7777 as the Socks V5 proxy.
