So, like most school districts, ours has Smartfilter DA (Bess Edition), which blocks a lot of stuff we shouldn't be doing at school. That's fine. But it also blocks images.google.com and other image search sites, as well as some legitimate sites and occassionally for stupid reasons. As such, it's become almost an art to circumvent the filters at our school.
Proxy servers are dandy and all but public ones are often overloaded and slow. Tor is always slow, and I can't find a legitimate public SSH tunnel, but then again, why would you want a public one.
Anywho, I got to thinking, "well, my house has a pretty big pipe, I could always run my own SSH server to tunnel out to my house's (unrestricted) connection".
So I want to do this. In windows.
How would I go about setting up, configuring, and connecting to my home SSH tunnel? I have full access to port forwarding on the router and my firewall, and so forth. If anybody could write me up a tutorial or find a good one, that would be greatly appreciated.
Oh, and both machines are on Windows XP. so no Linux SSH server guides. Soz.
