vikky, if you can log into ssh from the remote location you could use
privoxy as your proxy and just set your web browser to use
127.0.0.1:8118 as the proxy.
You would ssh to your home like
ssh -L 8118:127.0.0.1:8118 vikky@vikkys.home.com
That would port forward your proxy traffic to your remote box.
---------------------------------------
I do believe there is a socks proxy built into ssh as well you may
want to check the man page.
---------------------------------------
I would also suggest installing a plugin such as foxyproxy, or
switchproxy to quickly switch between the two (it will be necessary if
you have to access any intranet sites.)
