Hi,I am running a laptop on debian squeeze. I am connecting my laptop to my server, which is running at home as an ssh server. Both computers have tor installed, and I am currently using my server as a SOCKS proxy through ssh tunneling using the command
Which I then plug into my browser's proxy settings, and have a tunneled connection. However, I would also like to route this tunnel through tor on the server side so I can have anonymity as well as security. I do not want it to appear as if i am running tor on my laptop, and I want my laptop to route all http traffic through the ssh tunnel to my server, and then my server to route the tunnel through tor. How do I tell my server to route all the traffic received in the tunnel to my tor proxy?

Hmmm maybe something like this:
install Polipo and configure it to use tor. after that, tunnel all the traffic to Polipo's proxy which in turn will tunnel all the traffic to tor.

I have polipo installed on the server but I am planning on using the tunnel for more than just http traffic. my real question is how to pipe the traffic coming through the tunnel through to the tor proxy.

ps. I love your signature

-t nat is table type. I think nat would be best one.
eth0 is the interface your ssh tunnel coming from.
-p tcp protocol.
-dport 80 redirect http
--to-port 3128 to this port. Polipa must be running on this port.

You have to add one rule for other connections you want to route as well. Take a look at man iptables and this how to[1] for more ways to redirect different things.

[1] IT talks about transparent proxy but it would work for tor as well.
