What I tried was:
I installed and configured OpenSSH and when I write:

ssh root@192.168.15.244 -L 8099:192.168.15.244:22

in Windows Console I get something like that:

C:\Users\Christoph>ssh root@192.168.15.244 -L 8099:192.168.15.244:22
Could not create directory '/home/Christoph/.ssh'.
The authenticity of host '192.168.15.244 (192.168.15.244)' can't be established.

RSA key fingerprint is 4e:30:f8:bf:3e:92:b6:ad:18:21:b3:47:95:9e:02:30.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Failed to add the host to the list of known hosts (/home/Christoph/.ssh/known_ho
sts).


Welcome to Kindle!

but no Internet. I changed of course the proxy of the browser.

I really looking forward to hear solutions for this problem, thanks!

If you want the Kindle to be an Internet gateway, then you have to set it up to be an Internet gateway.

That requires changes to the Kindle's firewall rules, its routing tables, and a couple of network stack control settings.

All the same as any other Linux system used as a router.
Just web search "Linux home router" pick from hundreds of references.

I.E: It isn't a problem, just lack of knowledge. ( PEBCAK )

Hint: Install KUAL launcher and the KUAL firewall -
It is structured to make adding the router rule(s) easy and also protects the 3G network from accidental usage. I designed it that way on purpose (see my signature).
