Hello,
If I'm running a web proxy that uses a SSH tunnel from localhost to a
computer somewhere else on the Internet, can my network overlords spy
on me? Can anyone else spy on me? Could a local user on localhost spy
on me?
(I have firefox set to get dns queries to use the proxy too).
I followed instructions from
https://calomel.org/firefox_ssh_proxy.html if anyone is interested.
Disclaimer: I'm not being evil, just value my privacy. I'm reading 1984.
Also, has anyone heard of the Bradford Dissolvable Agent? It's a bash
script I had to run to gain access to my university network but I'm
not sure what it does (and I don't like the way it deletes itself
after running)
Thanks!
