SSH tunnel, SOCKS proxy, and PuTTY

http://www.extremetech.com/computing/93106-escaping-the-firewall-with-an-ssh-tunnel-socks-proxy-and-putty – shows how to set up proxy w/ SSH tunnel
http://shell.cjb.net/ – allows to set up an SSH account and I checked that I was able to use it for proxy setup

Apparently, having SSH tunnel started slows down my internet connection 🙁

It is fun seeing my connection routed via a server in Mongolia, Japan, the Netherlands or France.
