If you need a full tunnel (and not just HTTP) and don't have a VPN
server, but you do have an SSH connection, I heartily recommend the
tool 'sshuttle' (https://github.com/sshuttle/sshuttle, in EPEL).
It requires root locally but not on the remote side.

Then you can just use firefox without messing with proxy settings or
anything.
