FoxyProxy is NOT overkill, it's very intuitive and flexible enough to match specified patterns to load through the proxy. Such as setting all *://192.168.*.* traffic as a blacklist so if you are accessing LAN services then you most likely don't want to go through your proxy. Since you are already utilizing FoxyProxy's awesome power, why not tick the little option box that says "Send DNS requests through SOCKS". I don't use my SSH Tunnel on all my networks and need it to be disabled at times. So unless you want to go in to about:config and modify the 'network.proxy.socks_remote_dns' to 'true' key <B>EVERY TIME</B>, I strongly suggest FoxyProxy, there's no reason not to use it. At this point you may think I'm getting some kick backs from FoxyProxy, this is not the case, I just believe in this add-on because its powerful flexibility.<BR/><BR/>I prefer no-ip over DynDNS, but that's just me.LikeAHosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00172350543283740029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20416786.post-47734510622922149512009-02-12T10:25:00.000-08:002009-02-12T10:25:00.000-08:00Tunnelier is a much more comprehensive SSH client ...Tunnelier is a much more comprehensive SSH client than Putty.
