N00b q: I'm a few hours into my new Kindle, and thanks to this forum, have successfully have it JB'd, run ~usbNetwork, ssh root:fiona@192.168.2.2, mntroot rw, passwd and changed my root password, and can log in as root over WiFi. Thanks you! -- that was very easy!

Now I'd like to apply this capability and run an ssh tunnel from my Kindle to my server for secure http/https, and set my Kindle browser's proxy settings to localhost:8080.

How do you execute the ssh tunnel command

ssh -p 22 -L 8080:localhost:3128 -l user hostname.com -f -C -q -N
Then how do you browse securely through the proxy tunnel established at localhost:8080?

Are there any options yet for setting up a VPN tunnel to a VPN server?
