Hi.
I can tunnel to ssh server using this:

It's working good. I tunneled to the server.
But I have a problem!

Re: [SOLVED] How cat I make an http proxy from ssh?

You can't. What you can do is run a local http proxy that uses the ssh-created Socks5 as parent. Example config for polipo:

daemonise=true

proxyAddress=127.0.0.1
proxyName=localhost
allowedClients=127.0.0.1

socksParentProxy=localhost:7777
socksProxyType=socks5

7777 is an example, use $myport there. The default polipo port is 8123, meaning apps should be configured to use localhost:8123 as proxy.

Thanks for your help! It's worked very good and my problem is solved.
For installing and configuration polipo, other users can read this:
