This should be a simple issue to solve, but for some reason it's not working for me.
`ssh vps` works just fine (I use authentication keys)
I set up the tunnel with the command:
ssh -C2TNv -D 8080 vps
I then modify Firefox network settings:
manual config
http proxy: localhost, port: 8080
use this proxy server for all protocols
SOCKS v5
about:config
network.proxy.socks_remote_dns: true
Terminal output:
$ ssh -C2TNv -D 8080 vps

I then try visiting a site using Firefox, SSH output:

Despite the proxy seemingly working, visiting any site with Firefox just returns with the error "The connection was reset".

Try specifying where it needs to listen. So for example:
ssh -C2TNv -D 0.0.0.0:8080 vps
Or an alternative way with the using the -L option
ssh -C2TNvg -L 8080:localhost:8080 vps

I eventually figured it out from here:
http://superuser.com/questions/417397/h … -via-socks
It turns out my Firefox settings were wrong, only SOCKS Proxy needed to be filled in.
For future reference, you can test your SSH tunnel by using:
curl --socks5 127.0.0.1:8080 http://blah
curl --proxy 127.0.0.1:8080 http://blah
