Re: By passing surf control

[<dotnetter () bellsouth net>]

You can use ssh port forwarding  to by pass web content fileter.  What i did was set a machine up at home to listen for 
ssh on port 443.  Then i would create a ssh port forward to localhost:1000 set my browser to use a proxy at localhost 
1000 and bame all my traffic ssh encrypted went out over 443 and no more content filtering.  The cool thing was since 
logged 443 traffic is usually encrypted anyway no red flags.

Let me know if you want more info,
