How would 2 people to share their internet connection with each other?

Sorry if I have worded the question wrong.

Essentially, I am looking to create the same function as an anonymous proxy in a different country, except it is not annonymous - lol

setup open ssh server on the one box or better yet use a bloody nix based box

then go to youtube and type in "ssh tunnel"

will show you how to use ssh to setup a tunnel, then you use firefox and set proxy to localhost and port specified.

to be specific the command is:

ssh -D <proxy port> -l <login> -p <port> the.box.com

this will setup ssh tunnel to the the.box.com on LOCAL port <proxy port>

But if you are on VIRGIN don't bother.

Thats what you want to do, I use it at work all the time, and also so my friend in France uses to watch the beeb.

Why can you not do it on Virgin?
