web fowarding

If you were in China, where example wikipedia is blocked, but had a private server in north america, how could you forward your internet traffic from wiki through your server to your connection in China? Basicly, use your server as a node that would send usual traffic of port 80 through port X from your server, and all this on a Debian system?

simply put you would have to find what's called a proxy and tell your computer to use that proxy to relay information to your computer from the internet instead of directly to your computer from the internet

So I setup my server as a proxy on port X, then tell my PC in China to surf the web using proxy xyz on port X, which is my server in North America?

one such program to do so is called 'squid'

Yea , Squid works . its a great proxy server,

But just to not. i live in Qatar and we have as well a filter that blocks all PoXn and most torrent web sites. in this case squid wont work , U need something that is encrypted thougth SSL, or even SSH tunnel would do the trick.

I do have SSH on my server, how could I use it as a proxy or to tunnel my web stuff?

well, when it comes to tunneling using SSH, you dont really need a Proxy server. SSH would only connect to the Linux remote server to encrypt all traffic so the filtter in your country wont be able to block any sites.
