in SIGUSR2 > The Hacker Utility Belt: SSH on SIGUSR2
Just keep in mine that your SOCKS proxy may not intercept DNS queries, meaning sniffers on the local wifi still know what bank you use and other things. I recommend OpenVPN over TCP, or at the very least tunneling it over the SSH link, then you know that *all* apps will use the encrypted link, including DNS.
