-  * **Unix, MacOS-X**: ''ssh -D7777 login.cs.uni-bonn.de'' (students) or ''ssh -D7777 hera.cs.uni-bonn.de (employees)''
+=== First step: create the tunnel ===
-  * **Putty running on Windows**:   {{ :de:ssh:puttysocks.png?direct&200|}}
-     - In __Session__: Host ''login.cs.uni-bonn.de'' (students) or ''hera.cs.uni-bonn.de'' (employees)
+  * **Unix, MacOS-X**: ''ssh -Dlocalhost:8888 username@login-stud.informatik.uni-bonn.de'' (students) or ''ssh -Dlocalhost:8888 username@login-staff.informatik.uni-bonn.de (employees)''  --- replace "username" with your user name.

+Finally, configure in your web browser ''localhost:8888'' as the Socks V5 proxy.
+This example is for ''firefox 60.esr'', English version. Other browsers and versions may look differently. Type, of course, //8888// wherever //7777// is used these pictures.
