I searched around a bit, but all I got was this: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...=111996&page=2
As you can see, the above post just digresses into tethering and dies... But sadly, without a solution.

So, here it is in full form:
We all know about the Amazon 'proxy' server through which all our 3G data is routed. Amazon can easily snoop on what's happening... So I was thinking of using my web host/computer as a second 'nested' proxy. i.e. All data between my Kindle and computer will be encrypted over SSH, thus reducing chances of Amazon snooping.

Is there a way to establish an SSH tunnel so that all 3G (Browser atleast) data is routed encrypted through my computer?
